Böcker i Progress in Biotechnology-serien

Analyzes the dynamics and interactive processes among the players (individuals, institutions, and organizations/firms) that have constituted and legitimized the development of the biotechnology industries. This book focuses on the development of the concept of networks. It is suitable for those studying the formation of networks.

Of the plant species, woody plants produce the most abundant biomass resources, playing important roles in the suppression of carbon dioxide increase and supplying huge energy and resources. These work discusses the results of research for global resource and energy, biomass production and environmental problems from the aspect of woody science.

Covers both basic and applied sciences in a rather specified area of pulp and paper manufacture. This book also covers the basic science of lignocellulose enzymology and plant genetics in many other contexts, and reviews the application of biotechnology in process and product development.

Contains papers of both oral and poster presentations of the symposium that was held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, 26-29 November 1995. This volume covers developments in the field of immobilization. It describes applications in the field of medicine, fermentation technology, food technology and environmental technology.

Deals with developments in bioseparation engineering and the environmental engineering which includes waste water treatment and bioremediation. This book covers many disciplines such as chemical engineering, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology.

Covers carbodhydrate analysis and structure; carbohydrates in medicine and glycopathology; structure, function, application and protein engineering of carbohydrate active enzymes; oligo- and polysaccharides of industrial interest; and production of carbohydrates containing new materials.

Presents developments in topics such as non-covalent processes in solution, protein engineering and thermophile enzymes, immobilized enzymes, non-conventional media and whole cells.
