The Bacterial Cell Wall

This detailed volume explores methods currently used to investigate the cell wall of various bacterial species and pathogens. By using a combination of genetic molecular biochemical and cytological techniques the protocols address many fundamental questions involving the composition biosynthesis and regulation of bacterial peptidoglycan. Written for the highly successful <i>Methods in Molecular Biology</i> series chapters include introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols as well as tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. <div><br></div><div>Authoritative and practical <i>The Bacterial Cell Wall: Methods and Protocols</i> provides current and future researchers with a compilation of many of the most important and useful procedures in a single resource.</div>
