Encyclopaedia Of Industrial Microbiology And Biotechnology

Industrial microbiology or microbial biotechnology is the application of Scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses ) or plant and animal cells to create useful products or processes. The microorganisms utilized may be natural isolates, laboratory selected mutants or microbes that have been genetically engineered using recombinant DNA methods. The terms Industrial Microbiology'' and ''biotechnology'' are often one and the same This Encyclopaedia is based on the postgraduate curriculum of industrial microbiology and concentrates on the techniques that generally generally feature prominently in graduate practical classes. it provides a balanced and integrated treatment of the entire field of the universities students and besides that, it is also useful to the academic professionals Contents: Microbes and Industrial Applications; Bioprocess Technology; Bioprocess Bases Products; Enzymes Activity; Industrial Pharmacokinetics; Industrial Use of Microbes; Microbes and Chemical Changes; Future of Stem Cells; Manipulating Cells and Viruses in Culture; Tissue Culture and Laser Applications; Protein Synthesis; Polymerase Chain Reaction
