Bacterial Organelles and Organelle-like Inclusions
The new series "Microbiology Monographs" begins with two volumes on intracellular components in prokaryotes. In this first volume, "Inclusions in Prokaryotes", the components, labeled inclusions, are defined as discrete bodies resulting from synthesis of a metabolic product. Research on the biosynthesis and reutilization of the accumulated materials is still in progress, and interest in the inclusions is growing. This comprehensive volume provides historical background and comprehensive reviews of eight well-known prokaryotic inclusions.
1996 International Symposium on Bacterial Polyhydroxyalkanoates
The result of an international symposium on bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates held in 1996, this volume illustrates the range of contemporary work on the subject, including clarification of the biosynthesis of PHAs.
Biopolyesters
Living systems synthesize seven different classes of polymers. They provide structure and form for cells and organisms, function as catalysts and energy storage and carry the genetic information. All these polymers possess technically interesting properties. Some of these biopolymers are already used commercially. This special volume of Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology comprises 10 chapters. It gives an overview of the water insoluble biopolyesters, in particular of the microbially synthesized poly-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) family. It reports the state of the art of metabolism, regulation and genetic background, the latest advances made in genetic optimization of bacteria, "construction" of transgenic plants and in vitro synthesis by means of purified enzymes. Furthermore, it describes relevant technologies and evaluates perspectives concerning increasing the economic viability and competitiveness of PHA and discusses applications in medicine, packaging, food and other fields.
Biotechnological Approaches in Waste Management
Waste generation from industrial and domestic sectors is imposing a very challenging environment and the intervention of biotechnology offers a viable solution for their effective management. This book deals with the employment of biotechnological aspects for waste treatment including the basic concepts, biochemical processes, and various technologies for pollutant reduction and production of value-added products for a cleaner environment. It covers different aspects of biotechnology in the conservation of environment dealing with the sustainable management of waste through the concept of waste-to-economy along with the management of environmental pollutants and natural resource conservation...
Heme Peroxidases
This book will provide an up to date handbook that is unique in its combination of both the general aspects of heme protein structure and the function in a single volume.
FEMS Microbiology Letters
An international journal providing for the rapid publication of short reports on microbiological research.
Annual Review of Microbiology
Recent work in microbial activity and interactions is collected here. Contributors in botany, microbiology, immunology, ecology, and evolutionary biology report on work in areas such as lectin- carbohydrate interactions during human invasion by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica, bioterrorism, the evolution of drug resistance in Candida albicans, and transition metal transport in yeast. Other topics discussed include genome remodeling in ciliated protozoa, the molecular biology of the West Nile virus, bacterial chromosome segregation, metabolic control and yeast aging, mechanisms of solvent tolerance in gram-negative bacteria, and structural themes in viral cell entry pathways.
