This book discusses conventional bacterial identification procedures, commercially available data-based identification kits and molecularly-based PCR and 16S rDNA sequencing techniques with the aid of numerous tables and colour plates. The biochemical, biophysical and molecular characteristics of nearly 400 species of aquatic bacteria and the media on which they are cultured are presented along with a brief discussion of the diseases they are associated with. The emphasis is, however, on bacteria from farmed aquatic animals. This practical user-friendly identification manual will be useful to researchers in veterinary science and animal health as well as aquaculture and microbiology.
