Flow Cytometry in Microbiology D. Lloyd (Editor) Springer-Verlag, London, 1993 ISBN 0-387-19796-6 14 Chapters, 188 Pages, 74 Figures, Indexed

This book presents contributions from research microbiologists, most of whom gathered at a conference with the same title in Cardiff, Wales in 1992. The book illustrates the special power of flow cytometry and describes the problems and benefits of extending this technique to the microbial world. It begins with an introduction and overview by the editor and the following chapters cover a range of diverse problems to which flow cytometry has been applied. Methods for the measurement of size and viability of bacteria and yeasts in laboratory cultures are complemented by "real-world" analyses of algae and even the use of a ship-board flow cytometer. Neural networks analysis of flow cytometric data is also described. This book is a must for the growing number of microbiologists who are discovering the benefits of flow cytometry.
