This detailed collection covers methods recently developed for experiments on organisms from each of the major euglenozoan groups, including diplonemids, euglenids, and kinetoplastids. Volume 2 presents three sections exploring techniques in molecular biology, cell biology, as well as biochemistry and physiology. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Euglenozoa: Methods and Protocols, Volume 2 serves as an ideal guide for researchers working with these fascinating organisms and investigating the aspects of their extreme biology.
