Biotechnology, Products of Primary Metabolism By Max Roehr
1996 | 739 Pages | ISBN: 3527283161 | PDF | 48 MB
Fermentation products of primary metabolism such as ethanol, acetic acid, and lactic acid were the first commercial products of the fermentation industry, followed by citric acid and related products of fungal origin. As high-volume/low-price products they still occupy top positions in the respective markets. Several of these, especially alcohols, have attracted additional attention as possible sources of alternative energy carriers and chemicals. This volume describes theory and practice of production of these commodities - from classical processes to most recent developments - and also provides data on the relevant raw materials. Futhermore, products related to primary metabolism are treated in this volume. Topics included are: Sugar-Based/Starch-Based Raw Materials - Ethanol - Glycerol and Other Polyols - Acetone, Butanol, Isopropanol - 2,3-Butanediol - Lactic Acid - Citric Acid - Gluconic Acid - Further Organic Acids - Acetic Acid - PHB and Other Polyhydroxyalkanoic Acids - Amino Acids - Nucleotides - Extracellular Polysaccharides - Biosurfactants

Biotechnology, Bioprocessing By G. Stephanopoulos
1996 | 814 Pages | ISBN: 3527283137 | PDF | 54 MB
Bioprocessing: an exciting new engineering discipline. It combines the development and optimization of biotechnological processes with effective strategies to recover and purify the desired products. Safety as well as cost play an important role here. This volume covers the immensely differentiated spectrum of techniques and operations of bioprocessing, presented by the most competent experts in the field. An overview of upstream and downstream processing is given, fermentation and cell culture processes and the design of microbial fermenters are presented. A closing group of chapters is dedicated to issues of process validation, measurement, and regulation. Topics included are: Industrial Cell Cultures/ Pharmaceutical Proteins/ Bioreactors/ Media and Air Sterilization/ Oxygen Transfer/ Scale Implications/ Fermentation Data Analysis/ Cell and Debris Removal/ Protein Purification/ Electrokinetic Separations/ Final Recovery Steps/ Process Validation

Biotechnology, Biological Fundamentals By H. Sahm
1996 | 645 Pages | ISBN: 3527283110 | PDF | 47 MB
Everybody involved in biotechnology will appreciate having this volume at their fingertips. It contains the biological background material which is indispensable for the development of biotechnological processes and offers a unique collection of current information on the basic biology (ecology, taxonomy, biochemistry, physiology, and genetics) of industrially important organisms. The first part of the book presents the biological aspects of cell structure, organization, and metabolism to obtain a better understanding of the general function of cells. The second part deals with a large assemblage of insustrially important organisms. All of this information will be a useful basis for those who suddenly find themselves working on a new biotechnological project. Topics included are: Cell Structure/ Metabolism/ Growth of Microorganisms/ Metabolic Design/ Immobilized Organisms/ Methylotrophs/ Pseudomonads/ Yeasts/ Filamentous Fungi/ Bacteriophages/ Cell Cultures

Biotechnology By Hans-Jürgen Rehm, Gerald Reed, Alfred Pühler, Peter Stadler
1999 | 565 Pages | ISBN: 3527283102 | PDF | 46 MB
The now completed Second Edition of the Biotechnology book series is the largest source of information in the field consisting of approximately 11 000 printed pages and ca. 500 contributions. 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 the development of biotechnological processes.

Therefore the cumulative index is a valuable and convenient tool for search throughout the whole set of volumes. Topics included are Biological Fundamentals/ Genetic Fundamentals and Genetic Engineering/ Bioprocessing/ Measuring, Modelling, and Control/ Recombinant Proteins, Monoclonal Antibodies, and Therapeutic Genes/ Genomics and Bioinformatics/ Products of Primary Metabolism/ Products of Secondary Metabolism/ Biotransformations, Enzymes, Food, and Feed/ Special Processes/ Environmental Processes/ Legal, Economic and Ethical Dimensions/ Cumulative Index

Biophotonics: Visions for Better Health Care By Jürgen Popp, Marion Strehle
2006 | 625 Pages | ISBN: 3527406220 | PDF | 13 MB
An account of a three-year research program funded by the German government, in which physicists and physical chemists set off together with biologists and physicians to develop new techniques for medical and biological problems and ended up with sophisticated scientific solutions and innovative equipment, partly ready for the market. It not only includes a concise description of the new discoveries but also offers also an introduction to the various fields within optics.

Bioluminescence & Chemiluminescence: Progress And Perspectives - Proceedings Of The 13th International Symposium, Pacifico Yokihama, Japan 2-6 August, 2004 By Akio Tsuji, Masakatsu Matsumoto, Masako Maeda, Larry J. Kricka, Philip E. Stanley
2005 | 681 Pages | ISBN: 9812561188 | PDF | 39 MB
Bioluminescence and chemiluminescence are among the most important technologies in the life sciences. This latest volume of the long-running biannual Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence symposium series presents the latest developments in the fundamental and applied aspects of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. The book covers the fundamental aspects of bioluminescence, including beetle, marine bacterial and Cypridina bioluminescence, and the fundamental aspects of chemiluminescence, including 1,2-dioxetanes. It also presents recent developments in instrumentation and devices and a wide range of applications of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. The applications are succinctly described and include applications of luminescence in antioxidant research, phagocytosis, microbiology, ecology, food and environmental testing, immunoassay, enzyme assays, DNA probe assays, and reporter gene and gene expression assays.

Jeremy Ramsden, "Bioinformatics: An Introduction Ed 3"
English | ISBN: 1447167015 | 2015 | 327 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 5 MB
This comprehensive textbook presents a self-contained guide to bioinformatics, defined in its broadest sense as the application of information science to biology. Thoroughly updated and greatly expanded, this third edition now includes material on the growing array of "-omics"; covering metagenomics, toxicogenomics, glycomics, lipidomics, microbiomics and phenomics. New chapters have also been added on ecosystems management and the nervous system.

Between Race and Reason: Violence, Intellectual Responsibility, and the University to Come by Susan Searls Giroux
English | July 28, 2010 | ISBN-10: 0804770476 | 296 pages | PDF | 12,2 MB
Inquiring into the future of the university, Susan Giroux finds a paradox at the heart of higher education in the post-civil rights era. Although we think of "post-civil rights" as representing a colorblind or race transcendent triumphalism in national political discourse, Giroux argues that our present is shaped by persistent "raceless" racism at home and permanent civilizational war abroad.
