About the Book: Microbial, Plant and Animal Research
Biotechnology has proven to be one of the more fruitful technological
approaches in science today; being both very powerful, and able to generate
valuable intellectual property. This book aims to present examples in the
applications of molecular biology and genetic engineering. This book shows how
areas as diverse as agrofood technology, fine chemistry, detergents,
bioremediation and biosensors are receiving significant contributions from
biotechnology approaches. The fundamental principles that underpin all
biotechnologies are explained and a full range of examples are discussed to show
how these principles are applied; from starting substrates to the final product.
The challenges on these
