Summary Introduction
To explain:
Western blotting and its use in microbial identification.
Concept introduction:
Western blot is a blotting technique which is also termed as protein immunoblot. This technique is used to detect proteins in a sample or extract. It can also be used for detection of post-translational modifications.
