Genotypic and Phenotypic comparison of intestinal Bacteroides isolates

This book was written in pursuit of my M.S. in Microbiology from Iowa State University. This research was supported by a grant from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as part of it Intestinal Fortitude and Crystal Cellulose Conversion to Glucose programs to C.J. Ziemer. The author would like to thank Kerrie Franzen, John Tenhundfeld, and Stephen White for performing many of the bacterial isolations.
