Biotechnology - Tapa dura

The Third Edition of the Biotechnology book series is the largest source of information in the field. The first three volumes provide indispensibal knowledge on fundamentals and modern methods and technologies in biotechnology. Volumes 4 to 6 focus on recent research developments and applications of the three main areas of biotechnology: Food Biotechnology, Industrial Biotechnology, and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. Everybody involved in biotechnology will appreciate this book series at their fingertips. Clear, concise, and comprehensive Biotechnology gives scientists all the background material which is indispensable for modern research and deveopment of biotech products and processes. Such a huge amount of material requires easy access to the keywords, many of which are treated in different volumes. Therefore the cumulative index is a valuable and convenient tool for search throughout the whole set of volumes. Topics included are Biological and Genetic Fundamentals / Bioprocessing & Measuring, Modelling and Control / Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics / Food Biotechnology / Industrial Biotechnology / Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology / Cumulative Index
