Download or read book Recombinant Protein Production with Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells A Comparative View on Host Physiology written by Otto-Wilhelm Merten and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general field of fundamental and applied biotechnology becomes increasingly important for the production of biologicals for human and veterinary use, by using prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. The papers in the present book are refereed articles compiled from oral and poster presentations from the EFB Meeting on Recombinant Protein Production with Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells. A Comparative View on Host Physiology, which was organized in Semmering/A from 5th to 8th October 2000. A special feature of this meeting was the comparison of different classes of host cells, mainly bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, and animal cells, which made obvious that many physiological features of recombinant protein formation, like cell nutrition, stress responses, protein folding and secretion, or genetic stability, follow similar patterns in different expression systems. This comparative aspect is by far the point of most interest because such comparisons are rarely done, and if they are done, their results are most often kept secret by the companies who generated them. Audience: Presently, a comparable book does not exist because the compiling of manuscripts from all fields of biotechnology (prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic, up to animal cell biotechnology) is not done in general. This particularity makes this book very interesting for postgraduate students and professionals in the large field of biotechnology who want to get a more global view on the current state of the expression of recombinant biologicals in different host cell systems, the physiological problems associated with the use of different expression systems, potential approaches to solve such difficulties by metabolic engineering or the use of other host cells, and the cooperation between process development and strain improvement, which is crucial for the optimisation of both the production strain and the process. This book should be in every library of an institution/organization involved in biotechnology.

Download or read book Concepts of Biology written by Samantha Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of Biology is designed for the single-semester introduction to biology course for non-science majors, which for many students is their only college-level science course. As such, this course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives. Rather than being mired down with facts and vocabulary, the typical non-science major student needs information presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Even more importantly, the content should be meaningful. Students do much better when they understand why biology is relevant to their everyday lives. For these reasons, Concepts of Biology is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand.We also strive to show the interconnectedness of topics within this extremely broad discipline. In order to meet the needs of today's instructors and students, we maintain the overall organization and coverage found in most syllabi for this course. A strength of Concepts of Biology is that instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Concepts of Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand--and apply--key concepts.

Download or read book Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering written by Willy Gibson & Clem Koch and published by Scientific e-Resources. This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering is an important reference tool for students, teachers, physicians, science and technical writers, and anyone looking for a concise source of current information on this fast-breaking field. Biotechnology is the study of science which have discussed over many years but on the other hand, Genetic Engineering is the premature and young branch of science which has many milestones to achieve. Biotechnology deals with a set of biological techniques developed through basic research and now applied to research and product development. It is the means or way of manipulating life forms (organisms) to provide desirable products for man's use. For example, beekeeping and cattle breeding could be considered to be biotechnology related endeavors. Basically, Genetic Engineering is the modern modification and subspecialty of the branch of science called biotechnology. It deals and concerned with the specific and targeted modifications of the genetic material of bacteria and plants to stimulate them synthesize or biosynthesize desired products, Genetic Engineering is helping a lot to attain the results which are so much beneficial and helpful to the mankind, either it implies the genetic engineering of plants or animals or to microbes to help and improve the quality and quantity of food sometimes. Production associated with food items as well as drugs continues to be the principle exercise carried out by means of genetic engineering. This book covers all of the fundamental principles of the modern topics and has been presented in a very simple manner for self-study and provides comprehensive coverage of the standard topics.
Download or read book Protein Biotechnology written by Ashok Kumar and published by Discovery Publishing House. This book was released on 2006 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present title Protein Biotechnology tries to capture the field of biotechnology in its whole some entirety in a manner that is concise and easily understood by the students. Enzymatic proteins play a vital role in degradation and fermentation providing a well known example but more recent developments of an over increasing range of raw materials have led to a wider and greater impact on the biotechnology industry. Because it is undergoing such rapid growth, there will almost certainly be many examples of protein biotechnology in actual application when this book appears which had not reached that stage when it was written. For this reason we have allowed ourselves to include some examples which look as if they are likely to find application in the near future, despite our endeavour to illustrate the technology be examples that are actually in use, rather than possible processes that might one day find application but all too often really illustrate unfulfilled promise.
