Description
(Short description)
Die besten Beiträge aus der sehr erfolgreichen Reihe "Biopolymers": Für Sie ausgewählt und in zwei handlichen, auch für kleinere Bibliotheken und Labors erschwinglichen Bänden zusammengefasst! Den Schwerpunkt setzen die Herausgeber auf biotechnologische Systeme und Prozesse, mit denen sich Biopolymere kostensparend herstellen, isolieren und modifizieren lassen. Weitere Kapitel beschäftigen sich mit chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften, Vorkommen, Metabolismus, Synthese und Abbau polymerer Biomaterialien sowie mit vielfältigen Anwendungen als erneuerbare Rohstoffe oder innovative Werkstoffe. Mit ausführlichen Patentübersichten!
(Short description)
The "Biopolymers" series at its best!
The very best of biotechnology of Alexander Steinbüchel's successful "Biopolymers" series has been extracted and updated for "Biotechnology of Biopolymers". The focus of these two volumes is on the biotechnological systems and processes being developed for a cost effective production, isolation and modification of biopolymers. Furthermore it covers the fundamentals of their chemical and physical properties, their occurence, metabolism, biosynthesis and biodegradation as well as their industrial applications as renewable ressources, novel materials and technical applications.
