No minimum orderDescription
The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook: Introduction to Chlamydomonas and Its Laboratory Use, Volume One, Third Edition has been fully revised and updated to include a wealth of new resources for the Chlamydomonas community (new mutant libraries, new omics studies, and potentially more information about different Chlamydomonas species in the environment). In addition to updates on molecular techniques and analysis of the sequenced genome, the book presents the latest in research and best practices for applications in research, including methods for culture, preservation of cultures, preparation of media, and more.
Key Features
- Provides the only complete reference on both the historical background and most up-to-date information and applications on Chlamydomonas
- Edited by current leaders in the area, continuing the expert insights established through the first two editions
- Includes best practices for applications in research, including methods for culture, preservation of cultures, preparation of media, lists of inhibitors, and more
- Aids researchers with common laboratory problems such as contamination and details on properties of particular strains and mutants
Readership
Researchers in plant science who study photosynthesis; crop scientists; fertility researchers; mammalian vision researchers; biochemistry researchers; plant physiologists; plant and molecular biologists and even human disease; University and Medical libraries. The book will also be of extreme value to both postdoctoral and graduate students
