The content has been completely updated and restructured to reflect recent trends and developments and to follow the teaching curricula of most academic courses. New entries include glycobiology, algae, epigenetics, pre- and probiotics as well as C-sources and synthetic biology. The textbook still contains entries on the key topics in fermentation, bioprocess engineering and enzyme technology, along with industrial applications of biotechnology, focusing on the fields of food and medicine. The basic terms of microbiology, biochemistry, genetic engineering and cell biology are explained via an attractive layout including full color plates and the corresponding explanatory text. The whole is rounded off by a section on agricultural and environmental topics, as well as safety and ethical aspects.
The result is the number-one primer in biotechnology. Prägnant, umfassend und aktuell: Die perfekte Einführung in die Biotechnologie und Gentechnik im bewährten Layout mit vielen veranschaulichenden Farbabbildungen.
Rolf Schmid studied chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology in Munich and Freiburg (Germany). After postdoctoral training in Gif-sur-Yvette (France) and Austin (USA), he joined Henkel KGaA in Dusseldorf (Germany) where he worked for 15 years, eventually as Director R&D Biotechnology. In 1987, he was invited to direct the Institute for Enzyme Technology at Braunschweig Technical University and the Division of Enzyme Technology and Chemistry of Natural Products at the 'Gesellschaft für biotechnologische Forschung' (GBF) in Braunschweig (Germany). From 1993 to 2009, he was Director of the Institute for Enzyme Technology at Stuttgart University (Germany). After having obtained an MBA diploma from the University of Reutlingen in 2007, he founded the consulting agency www.bio4business.eu in Stuttgart, followed in 2015 by the Steinbeis Consulting Agency www.asia-tech.eu. Dr. Claudia Schmidt-Dannert is Distinguished McKnight Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics, at the University of Minnesota (USA). She studied Biology and Biochemistry at the Carolo Wilhelmina University Braunschweig (Germany), where she received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 1994. Schmidt-Dannert held a Postdoc position in Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) and became Professor at the University of Minnesota in 2010. Her research focuses on exploring and utilizing the metabolic machineries of plants and microorganisms to enable the discovery and synthesis of valuable microbial or plant-derived compounds in engineered microbial cells.
