Biotechnology and genetic engineering reviews volume 16

A well-established hardcover review series with one new volume published each year. Each volume contains approximately 15 original, major review articles covering important developments in industrial, agricultural and medical applications of biotechnology (wide sense), with particular emphasis on the genetic manipulation of the organisms concerned.

Glycoproteins. Biomedical and pharmaceutical applications of alginate and chitosan. Biopolymer mucoadhesives. Analytical ultracentrifuge technologies for the characterization of biopolymer gels and microgels. Biotechnological strategies for the modification of food lipids. Genetic manipulation of starch biosynthesis. Polysialic acids. Microbial polysaccharide products. The production and applications of genetically modified skin cells. The functions of 4-a-glucanotransferases and their use for the production of cyclic glucans. Thermomechanical properties of amorphous saccharides. Transgenic tomato technology. Pullulan from agro-industrial wastes. Xylans of industrial and biomedical importance. Polysaccharide film technologies. Pectins, pectinases and plant-microbe interactions. The unfolding story of the chaperonins.
