Summary
Summary
This book provides background knowledge in one of the most exciting areas in science today: the genetic engineering of microorganisms. All students and professionals involved in biotechnology - whether they are chemists, biologists or engineers - should be aware of the power behind this technique. And why? In contrast to earlier years, when strains could only be modified by classical genetic methods, it is now possible to design organisms with specific properties. The range of applications they offer is mind-boggling. The topics covered in this volume present a thorough and fascinating introduction to the methods, potentials and limitations of the genetic engineering of microorganisms. Written by leading experts in the field, they include the genetic engineering of Escherichia coli Gram Negative Bacteria Gram Positive Bacteria Yeast Filamentous Fungi. The articles in this book have been excerpted from the internationally renowned VCH multi-volume series 2Biotechnology2. They give students and professionals direct access to recent developments in genetic engineering.
