Publisher's Synopsis
This survey collates the knowledge and experience of those working in the fields of plant cell culture and animal cell culture, identifying the likely industrial application of such technologies to provide the biotechnological products of the future. The book takes the technology of tissue culture from the research laboratory and presents it, for commercial exploitation, to industrial readers. It will also form a sound base for scientists entering the fields of plant or animal cell culture.;The book is arranged in six parts, highlighting various process aspects rather than concentrating on either plant or animal cell science, since many aspects of process development are common to all biotechnological systems. Each section is arranged to offer a balance between plant cell and animal cell topics. The book is primarily concerned with those plant and animal cell cultures which will influence the future realization of commercial processes.
