This book is intended to give readers an appreciation of what the future holds, as cutting-edge technologies in synthetic biology and pathway engineering and advanced bioprocessing development pave the way for providing goods and services to benefit humankind that are based on the synergy of two biomasses - i.e. of what a renewable feedstock could yield and an infinite microbial biomass could provide in terms of enzymes and biocatalysts. This 13-chapter book, with an introductory treatise on the guiding principles of green chemistry and engineering metrics, brings together a broad range of research and innovation agendas and perspectives from industries, academia and government laboratories ...
This book represents a compilation of the major contributions of a NATO workshop on bioremediation of soils contaminated with aromatic compounds, which took place in Tartu, Estonia. It demonstrates the importance and necessity of interdisciplinary research in modern environmental biotechnology.
Marine bioprospecting is a highly topical subject - in both applied and basic research - but, as yet, the marine ecosystem is a relatively unexplored source of natural bioactive substances with potential therapeutic activity. This book addresses the use of marine enzymes in biocatalysis through a series of chapters from leading scientists within academic and industrial fields. Biocatalytic processes can take advantage of the habitat-related properties of marine enzymes, such as salt tolerance, hyperthermostability, barophilicity, cold adaptivity, and so on, whilst also taking into consideration substrate specificity and affinity. These evolved properties are linked to the metabolic functions...

Callick, Hong Kong-based reporter for the Australian Financial Review, examines how and when China has attempted to influence policies in Hong Kong, the effect of this pressure, the impact of the handover on China itself, why the Hong Kong share market fell, and the meaning of the first post-handov
