Biotechnology's wide-ranging,
multi-disciplinary activities include
recombinant DNA techniques, cloning, and the application of microbiology to the production of goods from bread to antibiotics. In this new edition, biology and
bioprocessing topics are uniquely combined to provide a complete overview of biotechnology. A
distinctive feature of the text is the discussions of the public perception of biotechnology and the business of biotechnology, which set the science in a broader context. This comprehensive textbook is essential reading for all students of biotechnology and
applied microbiology, and for researchers in biotechnology industries. I found this book to be good for students like me who are studing undergraduate
BioTechnology. i has all the informations that are taught to us, in a nice format and is easily understandable. I found this to be an excellent textbook for an introductory course in Biotech. I will strongly recomended it: it is general, it is easy to follow, it is updated, and it has something very special... the economic perspective, the practical point of view.
