In addition to their wide exploitation in the production of foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals, yeasts also play significant roles as model eukaryotic cells in furthering our knowledge in the biological and biomedical sciences. In order for modern biotechnology to fully exploit the activities of yeasts, it is essential to appreciate aspects of yeast cell physiology. In recent years, however, our knowledge of yeast physiological phenomena has lagged behind that of yeast genetics and molecular biology. Yeast Physiology and Biotechnology redresses the balance by linking key aspects of yeast physiology with yeast biotechnology. Individual chapters provide broad and timely coverage of yeast cytology, nutrition, growth and metabolism - important aspects of yeast cell physiology which are pertinent to the practical uses of yeasts in industry. The final chapter reviews traditional, modern and emerging biotechnologies in which roles of yeasts in the production of industrial commodities and their value in biomedical research are fully discussed. Relevant aspects of classical and modern yeast genetics and molecular biology are fully integrated into the appropriate chapters. This up-to-date and fully referenced book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate bioscience students, but will also prove to be a valuable source of information for yeast researchers and technologists. |

| Publisher Description: Hefen sind die weltweit wichtigste industriell genutzte Klasse von Mikroorganismen. Viele Lehrb cher besch ftigen sich mit der Molekularbiologie und Genetik dieser Spezies; die Physiologie dagegen ist nur selten ein Thema. Das vorliegende Lehrbuch will diese L cke f llen - Wachstum und Stoffwechsel der Hefezellen werden behandelt, und stets werden Verbindungen zur biotechnologischen Anwendung aufgezeigt. 06/98 |
