Advances in Biochemistry and Biotechnology Vol II

Encyclopaedia of Proteins, Biochemistry and Biotechnology covers study of proteins, biochemistry and biotechnology. Biotechnology is the scientific field of studying and applying the most efficient methods and techniques to get useful end-products for the human society by using viable micro-organisms, cells, and tissues of plants or animals, or even certain functional components of their organisms, that are grown in fully controlled conditions to maximize their specific metabolism inside fully automatic bioreactors.

Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life.

It is very important to make the specific difference between biotechnology as a distinct science of getting valuable products from molecules, cells or tissues of viable organisms, and any other applications of bioprocesses that are based on using the whole living plants or animals in different fields of human activities such as bioremediation, environmental protection, organic agriculture, or industrial exploitation of natural resources. Advances in Biochemistry and Biotechnology contains seven chapters.

1. Evolutionary and Biotechnological Implications of Robust Hydrogenase Activity in Halophilic Strains of Tetraselmis

2. Toxins From Venomous Animals: Gene Cloning, Protein Expression and Biotechnological Applications

3. Environmental Biotechnology for Bioconversion of Agricultural and Forestry Wastes Into Nutritive Biomass

4. Biotechnological Tools for Garlic Propagation and Improvement

5. Role of Biotechnology For Protection of Endangered Medicinal Plants

6. Biotechnology of Agricultural Wastes Recycling Through Controlled Cultivation of Mushrooms

7. Biotechnology and Bioengineering Recombinant
