Cellular And Biochemical Science

The last five decades have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in the amount of xenobiotic compounds in the environment by industrial activities, some of them being highly toxic, recalcitrant with high bio-accumulating and bio-magnification properties. Whilst biotechnology is the development of products or processes using plants, animals or micro-organisms, ''Environmental Biotechnology'' is the multidisciplinary integration of sciences and engineering to utilise the huge biochemical potential of microorganisms and plants for the sustenance of resources. Recent advances in biotechnology have driven forward the harnessing of micro-organisms and plants to help and protect our fragile environment and formation of ecofriendly products. 

The main features of the book are as follows:

1.Spread across 58 in-depth chapters, the book contains a wealth of information in all the important areas of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry.

2.Additional dedicated chapters on select laboratory and computational methods have also been included.

3.Each chapter is embedded with end-of-the-chapter summary, references, suggested readings, and review questions which includes long questions and multiple choice questions with answer keys.
