ISBN: 9810248350 ISBN-13: 9789810248352 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $90.25 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: March 2002 Annotation: Metabolic and cellular engineering, as presented in this book, is a powerful alliance of two technologies: genetics -- molecular biology and fermentation technology. Both are driven by continuous refinement of the basic understanding of metabolism, physiology and cellular biology (growth, division, differentiation), as well as the development of new mathematical modeling techniques. The authors' approach is original in that it integrates several disciplines into a coordinated scheme, i.e. microbial physiology and bioenergetics, thermodynamics and enzyme kinetics, biomathematics and biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology. Thus, it is called a transdisciplinary approach (TDA). The TDA provides the basis for the rational design of microorganisms or cells in a way that has rarely been utilized to its full extent. |
