v.10

This title provides an introduction to biotechnology for undergraduates in the fields of biochemistry, microbiology, chemical engineering, plant science, genetics and molecular biology. It is designed as an addition to basic texts in microbiology, and therefore assumes in the reader some knowledge of biochemistry and microbiology. There is a wide coverage of selected subject areas and examples. This is not just another textbook on industrial microbiology, but an introduction to a subject which is essentially multidisciplinary. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available
