Tracking Genetically-Engineered Microorganisms (Biotechnology Intelligence Unit 2)

Mostly European contributors to a dozen chapters illuminate key aspects of the rapidly proliferating field of environmental microbiology, e.g. the development and application of techniques that facilitate the identification, characterization, and monitoring of genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs). Later chapters outline regulatory aspects governing risk assessment of GMMs prior to field release, and give examples of the use of biomarkers described earlier to track specific GMMs during field trial experiments. Includes illustrations of protocols and outcomes. The lead editor is with the department of biochemistry at Stockholm U. Each chapter is authored by at least one participant in the MAREP (Marker/reporter genes in Microbial Ecology) Concerted Action of Scientists.Janet K. Jansson is the author of 'Tracking Genetically-Engineered Microorganisms (Biotechnology Intelligence Unit 2)', published 2000 under ISBN 9781587060090 and ISBN 1587060094.
