To detect, quantify, and model biologically signi?cant molecules is getting more and more important in our everyday life, in medicine, industry, and environment. When a group of enthusiasts like Frieder Scheller started more than 40 years ago to develop biosensors, they would not foresee that biosensors are nowavailableineverydrugstore, thatthehumangenomesequenceisavailable on the Internet, that DNA tests help in forensic cases, that we can track down thepathofourancestorsfromAfrica...

This volume reports the latest advances in the science and technology related to the conversion of lignocellulosics. A portion of the volume is devoted to molecular biology of the enzymes and the microbes involved in the conversion. Hydrolysis of cellulose continues to be of prime importance in the overall conversion scheme. Reaction kinetics and mechanisms of cellulases as well as the state-of-the-art methods of cellulase production by submerged fermentation and also by solid state fermentation are included in the volume. The latest advances made in dilute acid hydrolysis of cellulose are...

Plants produce more than 30,000 types of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, pigments and other fine chemicals, which is four times more than those obtain ed from microbes. Plant cell culture has been receiving great attention as an alternative for the production of valuable plant derived secondary metabolites, since it has many advantages over whole plant cultivation. However, much more research is required to enhance the culture productivity and reduce the pro cessing costs, which is the key to the commercialization of plant cell culture pro cesses. The recent achievements in related...

The contributions to this special volume were selected in order to detail advances in the field of bioprocess monitoring and estimation. Established conventional methods are critically discussed and non-conventional ones introduced. Two papers focus on more fuzzy approaches such as electronic noses or advanced chemometric techniques. One contribution illustrates the high potential with the example of cephalosporin production. Three contributions dare to look inside the cells, one by the analysis of (microscopic) images, one by trying to estimate the so-called physiological state, and the...
