En couleurs et très illustré, cette introduction à la microbiologie s'articule en trois parties. La première partie, "Microbiologie fondamentale", est une présentation générale des micro-organismes, de leur classification à leur physiologie en passant par leur génétique. La seconde partie est vouée à l'étude des mécanismes à la base des interactions entre bactéries et organismes animaux et végétaux et à l'étude de la lutte contre les interactions nuisibles. La troisième partie présente l'utilisation des micro-organismes comme "usines" de production de molécules biochimiques et le rôle des micro-organismes dans la conservation de l'environnement et en agriculture. Cette deuxième édition, actualisée, s'enrichit de données sur la pandémie covid 19. Des ressources en ligne accompagnent l'ouvrage : compléments de cours pour aller plus loin, fiches pratiques sur des techniques expérimentales, etc.
Lignocellulose is the only renewable carbon source that can help replace oil-based chemicals and materials, in the process fighting global warming. However, because of its chemical and structural complexity, lignocellulose transformation into advanced products requires a better understanding of its composition and of its architecture at different scales, as well as a combination of physical, biological, and chemical processes, in order to render this transformation efficient and economically competitive. Tremendous efforts continue to be made toward the production of ethanol as a biofuel from various lignocellulosic feedstocks. Furthermore, recent successes have been achieved in extracting f...
Recent developments in genetic engineering and protein chemistry are bringing ever more powerful means of analysis to bear on the study of enzyme structure. This volume reviews the most important types of industrial enzymes. In a balanced manner it covers three interrelated aspects of paramount importance for enzyme performance: three-dimensional protein structure, physicochemical and catalytic properties, and the range of both classical and novel applications.
This volume is second part of the five-part set on bioenergy research. This book provides new insight about the latest development in bioenergy research. It presents the various bioenergy options which are further explored for practical viability, their progress and utility in the industry. The main objective of the book is to provide insights into the opportunities and required actions for the development of an economically viable bioenergy industry for practical replacement of fossil fuels. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of environmental sciences. National and international bioenergy scientists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read. Other four volumes of this set explore basic concepts, commercial opportunities, waste to energy and integrated solution for bioenergy concerns.
Surface science has existed as a recognized discipline for more than 20 years. During this period, the subject has expanded in two important ways. On the one hand, the techniques available for studying surfaces, both experimental and theoretical, have grown in number and in sophistication. On the other hand, surface science has been applied to an increasing number of areas of technology, such as catalysis, semicon ductor processing, new materials development, corrosion prevention, adhesion and tribology. . There is, however, no sharp division between fundamental and applied surface science. New techniques can immediately be applied to technologically important problems. Improvements in under...
The first comprehensive survey on the uses of alkyl polyglycosides as renewable ressources for the chemical industry. Experts from industry show in detail how alkyl polyglycosides can help chemists to improve their products. Since quite a few years, renewable Ressources are of increasing interest for the chemical industry. Alkyl polyglycosides are among the frequently used substances produces from renewable ressorces. Their science as well as technological applications are described in this book competently and with a focus on industrial use.
This book brings together contributions from global experts who have helped to facilitate the exciting and rapid advances that are taking place in microbial metabolomics. The main application of this field is in clinical and veterinary microbiology, but there is a great potential to apply metabolomics to help to better understand complex biological systems that are dominated by multiple-species microbial populations exposed to changing growth and nutritional conditions. In particular, environmental (e.g., water, soil), food (e.g., microbial spoilage, food pathogens), and agricultural and industrial applications are seen as developing areas for microbial metabolomics. As such, the book includes contributions with clinical, environmental, and industrial perspectives.
The growing resistance of pests to pesticides has led to a search for better, safer compounds and delivery systems for controlling plant and animal pests. This new volume explores the use of biologically active natural products to control insects, diseases, and weeds. Its 31 chapters are divided into five sections covering bioregulators of insect behavior and development, insects and other animals, phytoalexins and phototoxins in plant pest control, and allelochemicals as plant disease control agents.
The above mentioned conference, held in the International Agricultural Centre in Wageningen from December 8-11, 1991, was attended by approximately 200 participants representing 20 countries, with 40% of these participants affiliated with industry. The main body of the programme covered three topics together with a special session on applications. A detailed outline of the presented papers is provided hereunder. It was felt that the programme considerably stimulated the multidisciplinary interactions required in today's research in biotechnology, while further contributing to fruitful interactions between industrial and academic research.
