Description
New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Microbial Genes Biochemistry and Applications consolidates the most widely used genetic methods available, bringing together the fields of biochemistry, biotechnology, and microbiology. The chapters outlined give clear and concise direction on both standard and applied microbial genetic improvements, presenting undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers with the latest developments in microbial gene technology. In addition, the book describes the background and usefulness of each experiment in question. All chapters covered in the book are derived from current peer-reviewed literature as accepted by the international scientific community.- Compiles the latest developments made in the area of microbial gene systems- Includes exhaustive information on almost all areas of microbial gene technology- Relates microbial engineering and its direct application to the production of many useful compounds- Written by an international team of authors and compiled by award winning editors
