Biotechnology has proved to be one of the more fruitful technological approaches sciences, being both very powerful and able to generate valuable intellectual property. This book aims to present examples in the application molecular biology and genetic engineering. This book shows how areas as diverse as agrofood technology, fine chemistry, detergents, bioremediation and biosensors receive significant contributions from biotechnology approaches. The fundamental principles that underpin all biotechnology are explained and a full range of examples are discussed to show how these principles are applied; from starting substrate to final product.
