Genetic Engineering Fundamentals

This important reference/text provides technologists with the basic information necessary to interact scientifically with molecular biologists and get involved in scaling up laboratory procedures and designing and constructing commercial plants. Requiring no previous training or experience in biology, Genetic Engineering Fundamentals explains the biological and chemical principles of recombinant DNA technology ... emphasizes techniques used to isolate and clone specific genes from bacteria, plants, and animals, and methods of scaling-up the formation of the gene product for commercial applications ... analyzes problems encountered in scaling-up the microprocessing of biochemical procedures ... includes an extensive glossary and numerous illustrations ... identifies other resource materials in the field ... and more.

Presenting the fundamentals of biochemistry and molecular biology to workers and students in other fields, this state-of-the-art reference/text is essential reading for technologists in chemistry and engineering; biomedical, chemical, electrical and electronics, industrial, mechanical, manufacturing, design, plant, control, civil, genetic, and environmental engineers; chemists, botanists, and zoologists; and advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in engineering, biotechnology, and industrial microbiology.
