This volume provides detailed discussion of a variety of important techniques that researchers use to study fungal molecular biology and pathogenesis. Written for the Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and practical, Candida Species: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols
