This Volume covers protocols for in-silico approaches to
hydrocarbon microbiology, including the selection and use of
appropriate statistical tools for experimental design replication,
data analysis, and computer-assisted approaches to data storage,
management and utilisation. The application of algorithms to
analyse the composition and function of microbial communities is
presented, as are prediction tools for biodegradation and protein
interactions. The basics of a major open-source programming
language, Python, are explained. Protocols for calculating reaction
kinetics and thermodynamics are presented, and modelling the
environmental fate of hydrocarbons during bioremediation is
explained. With the exception of molecular biology studies of
molecular interactions, the use of statistics is absolutely
essential for both experimental design and data analysis in
microbiological research, and indeed in the biomedical sciences in
general. Moreover, studies of highly varying systems call for the
modelling and/or application of theoretical frameworks. Thus, while
two protocols in this Volume are specific to hydrocarbon
microbiology, the others are generic, and as such will be of use to
researchers investigating a broad range of topics in microbiology
and the biomedical sciences in general. Hydrocarbon and Lipid
Microbiology ProtocolsThere are tens of thousands of structurally
different hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives and lipids, and a
wide array of these molecules are required for cells to function.
The global hydrocarbon cycle, which is largely driven by
microorganisms, has a major impact on our environment and climate.
Microbes are responsible for cleaning up the environmental
pollution caused by the exploitation of hydrocarbon reservoirs and
will also be pivotal in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels by
providing biofuels, plastics and industrial chemicals. Gaining an
understanding of the relevant functions of the wide range of
microbes that produce, consume and modify hydrocarbons and related
compounds will be key to responding to these challenges. This
comprehensive collection of current and emerging protocols will
facilitate acquisition of this understanding and exploitation of
useful activities of such microbes.
