ADVANCES IN BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING/BIOTECHNOLOGY

Opis produktu

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 IAdvances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology/I comprises 10 chapters. It gives an overview of the water insoluble biopolyesters in particular of the microbially synthesized polyhydroxyalkanoate (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 aWith contributions byLiving systems synthesize seven different classes of polymers.
