Introduction to Genetic, Genomic and System Analyses of Pure Cultures

Although considered to be only a minute fraction of global biodiversity, the handling of the culturable microbiota is still essential for exploring the interface of the bacterial world with lipids, hydrocarbons and other chemicals. This endeavour requires a suite of wet and computational tools that are the subject of the present volume. The protocols detailed below go from generating large volumes of data with a suite of omics to methods for distilling such a data into information and this in turn into new and useful knowledge. To this end, in silico approaches have to go hand-in-hand with new strategies for genome editing and controlled perturbations of the systems under study.
