Opis

Addresses microbially derived commercially important bioactive products that are currently or soon-to-be available. This second edition includes analyses of the use of recombinant enzymes to produce biologically active molecules; insights into the biochemistry, molecular biology and production of antibiotics used as therapeutic agents; and a focuses of state-of-the art techniques for the development of new antibiotics using novel approaches and strategies.

Recenzje

"
Praise for the previous edition…

…a well-organized compilation of information on antibiotics which have found practical use in medical, veterinary, and agricultural practice…well written…a good reference work for those interested in antibiotic screening and production.
"-ASM News

"…a very useful book…it is a great help to have in one book an account of the production of most of the current antibiotics.
"-Enzyme and Microbial Technology
