Preface In the year 2000, a first methods collection entitled Bacterial Toxins: Methods and Protocols, which contained 20 chapters on protein toxins and endotoxin from bacteria and cyanobacteria, was published. The idea was to support researchers of various scientific disciplines with detailed descriptions of state-of-the-art protocols and, since the book turned out to be quite successful, it is quite obvious that this aim could be achieved. However, it was also noticed that by focusing on bacterial toxins one significant area of toxin research was missing, namely, mold fungus toxins. Now, 10 years later, a second volume entitled Microbial Toxins: Methods and Protocols, which includes protocols on mold fungus toxins with some focus on aflatoxins, is presented. The interest of researchers across a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines in the field of microbial toxins is clearly unbroken. Since this field, as many others do, makes use of a large variety of biological, chemical, physical, and medical approaches, investigators dealing wi
