Biotechnology of Antibiotics and Other Bioactive Microbial Metabolites

By Rolando Lorenzetti and Giancarlo Lancini

Book Overview

In response to the field's need for an introductory text, the authors have distilled the vast and scattered literature relating to the biotechnology of microbial secondary metabolites. General biology, biosynthesis, the search for novel metabolites, and techniques for strain improvement are all discussed to provide undergraduate and graduate students with a concise, readable overview of the field.
