Publisher's Synopsis
Process biotechnology practice has advanced substantially in recent years. Advances have taken place not only with microbes or microbial systems, but also with mammalian, animal and plant cell culture systems. In order to recognise and protect these advances various new patents have been applied for and granted. Thus, this book deals with the patenting of new biotechnologies, as well as the actual processes themselves. Prof. Mukhopadhyay has put together an excellent collection of papers discussing the latest developments across diverse fields of biosystems. His book will serve academics, students and postgraduates of biology, biochemistry and biological engineering, and will also appeal to professionals in the bioprocessing and biotechnology industry.
