9783527283125: Genetic Fundamentals and Genetic Engineering: Products of Primary Metabolism

Synopsis

This reference work describes the state of biotechnology and serves as a guide to the original literature. It spans the entire field from basic concepts to industrial applications and deals with a wide spectrum of applications. These range from the production of enzymes, biomass, and primary and secondary products of microbial metabolism to the production of foods and feeds, sewage disposal, and other microbial degradations. Volumes 1 and 2 explain the basic concepts of microbial science and bioengineering. The third and fourth volumes describe the industrially important products of microbial metabolism, as well as the production of biomass. The fifth volume deals with the production of foods and feeds with the aid of microbes. Volumes 6A and 6B cover microbial transformations and special microbial processes. Volume 8 deals with biodegradations. The series is intended for microbiologists, biochemists, bioengineers, chemical engineers, and food and pharmaceutical chemists working in industry, academia, and the public sector. A subscription price is available for those signing up for the whole series.

Quatrième de couverture

Biotechnology Second, Completely Revised Edition Edited by H.–J. Rehm and G. Reed in cooperation with A. Pühler and P. Stadler This fully revised and expanded Second Edition takes into account all recent developments in biotechnology. It is extraordinarily broad in scope, up–to–date, carefully structured and well–balanced. "Biotechnology" considers both basic concepts and widely–differing industrial applications: it is a successful synthesis of theory and practice. Any scientist aiming for success in industrial microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and chemical engineering must turn to "Biotechnology". Volume 2: Without sufficient knowledge of classical and molecular genetics as well as of genetic engineering, it is not possible to fully understand biotechnological processes. Clear, concise and comprehensive, Volume 2 gives scientists all the information they need to carry out research and production in this field. Topics included are: Mutagenesis Genetic Exchange Processes Cell Fusion Gene Mapping Transposable Elements Gene Expression Synthesis of Oligonucleotides Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Transposons Transformation Vectors Recombinant Proteins Gene Amplification Transgenic Plants and Animals Biosafety Concepts

Présentation de l'éditeur

Without sufficient knowledge of classical and molecular genetics as well as of genetic engineering, it is not possible to fully unterstand biotechnological processes. Clear, concise and comprehensive, Volume 2 gives scientists all the information they need to carry out research and production in this field.
In Part I of the book the classical genetic techniques relevant to biotechnology are presented. Part II highlights the recent advances in molecular genetics which have revolutionized our knowledge in the field. Part III deals with the genetic engineering of microorganisms, and Parts IV and V concentrate on plants and animals – multicellular organsims which require special genetic engineering techniques. In the final Part VI biosafety concepts in modern biotechnology are treated.
Topics included are: Mutagenesis/ Genetic Exchange Processes/ Cell Fusion/ Gene Mapping/ Transposable Elements/ Gene Expression/ Synthesis of Oligonucleotides/ Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)/ Transposons/ Transformation Vectors/ Recombinant Proteins/ Gene Amplification/ Transgenic Plants and Animals/ Biosafety Concepts
