TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: Flow cytometry is a technique, which allows one to analyze cells rapidly and individually and permits the quantitative analysis of microbial heterogeneity, and offers many advantages over conventional measurements for both routine and more exploratory analyses of microbial properties.

TL;DR: It is shown that metabolic footprinting is an effective method to classify 'unknown' mutants by genetic defect by using appropriate clustering and machine learning techniques, the latter based on genetic programming.

TL;DR: The principles, experimental approaches and scientific outcomes that have been obtained with this useful and convenient strategy to study the inner structure and behaviour of a system are reviewed.

TL;DR: The meaning of microbial viability is explored and guidance is offered in the selection and interpretation of viability testing methods in microbiology laboratories worldwide.
