Biotechnology Second, Completely Revised Edition Edited by H.-J. Rehm and G. Reed in cooperation with A. Pühler and P. Stadler This fully revised and expanded Second Edition takes into account all recent developments in biotechnology. It is extraordinarily broad in scope, up-to-date, carefully structured and well-balanced. "Biotechnology" considers both basic concepts and widely-differing industrial applications: it is a successful synthesis of theory and practice. Any scientist aiming for success in industrial microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and chemical engineering must turn to "Biotechnology". Volume 2: Without sufficient knowledge of classical and molecular genetics as well as of genetic engineering, it is not possible to fully understand biotechnological processes. Clear, concise and comprehensive, Volume 2 gives scientists all the information they need to carry out research and production in this field. Topics included are: •Mutagenesis •Genetic Exchange Processes •Cell Fusion •Gene Mapping •Transposable Elements •Gene Expression •Synthesis of Oligonucleotides •Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) •Transposons •Transformation Vectors •Recombinant Proteins •Gene Amplification •Transgenic Plants and Animals •Biosafety Concepts
