Biocatalytic Production of Amino Acids and Derivatives (Hanser Publishers)

This book describes the principles and methods, many recently developed, used in the commercial production of amino acids and biocatalysts. The text features discussion of new technology being used for the development of membrane reactors, the use of enzymes in nonaqueous solvents, and the application of recombinant DNA techniques for cloning and gene expression. Also covered are newly discovered enzymes and microbial strains, and immobilized biocatalytic systems. As an up-to-date account of the production of critically important chemical compounds, this work will interest a wide range of academics and industrial researchers, chemists, and engineers in the fields of biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology, and biochemical and chemical engineering.Rozell, David J. is the author of 'Biocatalytic Production of Amino Acids and Derivatives (Hanser Publishers)', published 1992 under ISBN 9780195209822 and ISBN 0195209826.
