Biopolymers Book Review
Category: Book Review
I am pleased to provide the following excerpt from a book review of Microbial Production of Biopolymers and Polymer Precursors: Applications and Perspectives:
"The authors of this comprehensive review are internationally accepted specialists in the field of using microorganisms as a cell factory for biopolymers or special precursors of these polymers ... The editor and the authors have produced an excellent up-to date compendium which is extremely useful for all students of biotechnology, engineering and scientists in the biotechnological and microbiological branches and is recommended for all biotechnological and microbial laboratories and enterprises in this field. It should be available in libraries at universities, research institutes and biotechnological companies and is further strongly recommended to all those who are interested in life sciences." from Uta Breuer (Halle, Germany) writing in Clean (2009) 37(6): 414 read more ...

ABC Transporters Book Review
Category: Book Review
I am pleased to provide the following excerpt from a book review of ABC Transporters in Microorganisms:
"a good text book for basic science researchers in the area of multiple drugs resistant (MDR) proteins or microbiology. This book comprehensively discusses various types of ABC transporters and their implications for microorganisms such as bacterial, yeast, fungi, and parasites ... extensive information regarding biological structure, molecular machineries ... and cellular functions ... this book offers valuable resources and may provide insights into the unknown functions and physiological roe of ABC transporters in humans" from Dr YS Loh (University of Sydney, Australia) writing in Aus. J. Med. Sci. (2010) 31(2): 73 read more ...

Metagenomics Book Review
Category: Book Review
I am pleased to provide the following excerpt from a book review of Metagenomics: Theory, Methods and Applications:
"The book contains expert reviews on the approach, tools and prospects of metagenomics, on detailed methodologies, on a number of translational applications, and one chapter on conceptualization of the approach and its standing in the natural sciences ... All chapters have exciting concluding remarks, outlining challenges and future perspectives - a hallmark of a young and rapidly rising research area. Most references are from the most recent 10 years, reaching far into 2009, also reflecting the recent advent of this research branch. The book identifies a milestone in modern microbiology with vast impact on other disciplines, and is highly recommended to students and practitioners of molecular biology, biochemistry, all branches of microbiology, bioinformatics, and, last but not least, medicine." from Ulrich Desselberger (Cambridge) writing in Microbiology Today (2010) read more ...
