About The Book

Biotechnology is one of the major technologies of the twenty-first century. Its wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary activities include recombinant DNA techniques, cloning and the application of microbiology and other cell culture technologies to the production of a wide range of goods from bread to antibiotics. Biotechnology is the applicative part of biology that is multi-disciplinary in activity. Commercial potential of biotechnology is immense. This is an exciting time to work in biotechnology. This book results from experiences in the laboratory. The result of efforts is not a laboratory manual; this text contains few step-by-step procedures. Nor is it a book about molecular genetics, immunology, or cell culture--there are already many excellent specialised texts and manuals on these topics. This comprehensive text is essential reading for all students and practitioners of biotechnology and for researchers in academia, research institutes and biotechnology industries.
