Von der hinteren Coverseite

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 8b: Biotransformations have developed into an important tool of organic synthesis. Volumes 8a and b provide a comprehensive guide to the established and emerging uses of enzymes and microorganisms. Each chapter is devoted to a single class of transformation so that the competing possibilities can be readily compared. Practical and reliable reactions are emphasized.
