Biotechnology is a very diverse field that is generating innovations and advances at a fast pace. This book seeks to gather expert contributions from around the world to offer a picture of some of the most promising new developments. Part one presents studies of innovations in biotechnology. The contributors present their findings on topics including gene expression microarrays in microgravity research and structural bioinformatics for protein engineering. Part two presents molecular studies of biotechnology, and examines applications to improve the quality of life in humans, such as the therapeutic applications of electroporation. Part three considers recent advances in applied biotechnology. Here, the reader will gain insights into innovations such as the development of cell-free protein expression systems, and built-in synthetic gene circuits in Escherichia coli. Finally, part four considers new approaches and perspectives in environmental biotechnology. Chapters cover several topics including organophosphorus flame retardants and bioconversion in batch, continuous and fed batch reactors. This varied collection of high-quality contributions will interest students and researchers interested in current developments and future perspectives in biotechnology.
