„Regardless, if one is specifically interested in quantitativemicrobial biotechnology, then this is a great, concise, andinformative Textbook.“ (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 December2011)
Modern Biotechnology
Connecting Innovations in Microbiology and Biochemistry to Engineering Fundamentals
von Nathan S. Mosier und Michael R. LadischA unique resource for the next generation of biotechinnovators
Enabling everything from the deciphering of the human genome toenvironmentally friendly biofuels to lifesaving newpharmaceuticals, biotechnology has blossomed as an area ofdiscovery and opportunity. Modern Biotechnology provides amuch-needed introduction connecting the latest innovations in thisarea to key engineering fundamentals. With an unmatched level ofcoverage, this unique resource prepares a wide range of readers forthe practical application of biotechnology in biopharmaceuticals, biofuels, and other bioproducts.
Organized into fourteen sections, reflecting a typical semestercourse, Modern Biotechnology covers such key topics as:
* Metabolic engineering
* Enzymes and enzyme kinetics
* Biocatalysts and other new bioproducts
* Cell fusion
* Genetic engineering, DNA, RNA, and genes
* Genomes and genomics
* Production of biopharmaceuticals
* Fermentation modeling and process analysis
Taking a practical, applications-based approach, the textpresents discussions of important fundamentals in biology, biochemistry, and engineering with relevant case studies showingtechnology applications and manufacturing scale-up. Written fortoday's wider, more interdisciplinary readership, ModernBiotechnology offers a solid intellectual foundation for studentsand professionals entering the modern biotechnology industry.
