Book Synopsis Advances in Biotechnology by : Indu Ravi

Download or read book Advances in Biotechnology written by Indu Ravi. This book was released on 2013-10-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book “Advances in Biotechnology” is about recent advances in some of the important fields that are ongoing in certain biotechnological applications. Biotechnology has been quite helpful in keeping pace with the demands of every increasing human population and in improving the quality of human life. Major biotechnological achievements associated with human welfare have been from the fields like genetic engineering; transgenic plants and animals; genomics, proteomics, monoclonal antibodies for the diagnosis of disease, gene therapy etc. Fourteen authoritative chapters written by experts having experience in academics and research on current developments and future trends in biotechnology have been empathized. The book provides a detailed account of various methodologies used in biotechnology i.e. High capacity vectors, DNA sequencing dealing with next generation sequencing, Molecular markers, DNA microarray technology, as well as Proteomics that have revolutionized biotechnology with a wide array of applications. The book not only presents a well-founded explanation of the topics but also aims to present up-to-date reviews of current research efforts, some thoughtful discussions on the potential benefits and risks involved in producing biotechnological products and the challenges of bringing such products to market. It will prove to be an excellent reference work for both academicians and researchers, indicating new starting points to young researchers for new projects in the field. The book is intended for biotechnologist, biologist, researchers, teachers and students of Biosciences and Biotechnology.

Book Synopsis Advances in Biotechnology for Food Industry by : Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu

Download or read book Advances in Biotechnology for Food Industry written by Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu. This book was released on 2018-02-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Biotechnology for Food Industry, Volume Fourteen in the Handbook of Food Bioengineering series, provides recent insight into how biotechnology impacts the global food industry and describes how food needs are diverse, requiring the development of innovative biotechnological processes to ensure efficient food production worldwide. Many approaches were developed over the last 10 years to allow faster, easier production of widely used foods, food components and therapeutic food ingredients. This volume shows how biotechnological processes increase production and quality of food products, including the development of anti-biofilm materials to decrease microbial colonization in bioreactors and food processing facilities. Presents basic to advanced technological applications in food biotechnology Includes various scientific techniques used to produce specific desired traits in plants, animals and microorganisms Provides scientific advances in food processing and their impact on the environment, human health and food safety Discusses the development of controlled co-cultivations for reproducible results in fermentation processes in food biotechnology

Book Synopsis Recent Advances in Biotechnology by : Sanket J. Joshi

Download or read book Recent Advances in Biotechnology written by Sanket J. Joshi. This book was released on 2019. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biotechnology as we know today is the perfect amalgam of 'Biology' and its applications by utilising advances in different fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, and mathematics/information technology. Recent advances and developments in areas such as nanotechnology, molecular biology and OMICS, synthetic-biology, and genetic engineering tools further pave the way to achieve different selective criteria and development of 'tailor-made' microbe-metabolites that can be effectively applied for different applications. The presence of biotechnology has reached beyond academics research in microorganisms, plants and animals to different 'day-to-day' applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, green-nanotechnology, petroleum industry and environmental applications, to list a few. It is worth mentioning the impact of substantial academic and industrial research and developments in last decade on several attributes of different branches of biotechnology, especially in nanotechnology for health and enzyme research, environmental applications, applications of extremophiles, proteomics, uses of toxins, and many more remarkable fields. In the current book, researchers highlighted such emerging technological advances and their applications. The current book was compiled with the help of leading biotechnologists from the Middle East and India, with the objective of providing recent developments in global status and opportunities of biotechnology. This book will prove to be a useful and timely contribution to both academic and industrial researchers from diverse biological background all over the world.

Book Synopsis Potato Biology and Biotechnology by : Dick Vreugdenhil

Download or read book Potato Biology and Biotechnology written by Dick Vreugdenhil. This book was released on 2011-08-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 15-20 years major discoveries have been concluded on potato biology and biotechnology. Important new tools have been developed in the area of molecular genetics, and our understanding of potato physiology has been revolutionized due to amenability of the potato to genetic transformation. This technology has impacted our understanding of the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interaction and has also opened new opportunities for the use of the potato in a variety of non-food biotechnological purposes. This book covers the potato world market as it expands further into the new millennium. Authors stress the overriding need for stable yields to eliminate human hunger and poverty, while considering solutions to enhance global production and distribution. It comprehensively describes genetics and genetic resources, plant growth and development, response to the environment, tuber quality, pests and diseases, biotechnology and crop management. Potato Biology is the most valuable reference available for all professionals involved in the potato industry, plant biologists and agronomists. Offers an understanding of the social, economic and market factors that influence production and distribution Discusses developments and useful traits in transgenic biology and genetic engineering The first reference entirely devoted to understanding new advances in potato biology and biotechnology

Book Synopsis Advances in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology by : Jayanta Kumar Patra

Download or read book Advances in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology written by Jayanta Kumar Patra. This book was released on 2020-03-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains both the basic science and the applications of biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals, with special emphasis on their clinical uses. The foundations of pharmaceutical biotechnology lie mainly in the capability of plants, microorganism, and animals to produce low and high molecular weight compounds useful as therapeutics. Pharmaceutical biotechnology has flourished since the advent of recombinant DNA technology and metabolic engineering, supported by the well-developed bioprocess technology. A large number of monoclonal antibodies and therapeutic proteins have been approved, delivering meaningful contributions to patients’ lives, and the techniques of biotechnology are also a driving force in modern drug discovery. Due to this rapid growth in the importance of biopharmaceuticals and the techniques of biotechnologies to modern medicine and the life sciences, the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology has become an increasingly important component in the education of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. This book will serve as a complete one-stop source on the subject for undergraduate and graduate pharmacists, pharmaceutical science students, and pharmaceutical scientists in industry and academia.
