In response to the development of new tools for microbiota and microbiome analysis, the increasing recognition of the various roles of microbiota in health and disease, and the consequent expanding demand for gnotobiotic animals for microbiota/microbiome related research, this volume collates the research of this expanding field into one definitive resource.
- Reviews and defines gnotobiotic animal species
- Analyzes microbiota in numerous contexts
- Presents detailed coverage of the protocols and operation of a gnotobiotic facility
Researchers, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, research technicians, laboratory animal veterinarians, animal care personnel, and administrators in both academia and industry with an interest in microbiota/microbiome related research and/or gnotobiotic facility establishment and operation
