Biotechnology draws upon a number of scientific and technological disciplines - chemistry and chemical engineering, biochemistry and biochemical engineering, biology, microbiology, genetics and agriculture and immunology. Those working in this field are unlikely to have a background or training in more than one or two, yet still need to understand the language of the others. This book explains terms, procedures and processes encountered in biotechnology. Some of the subject areas covered are: fermentation; brewing, vaccine production; plant tissue culture; antibiotic production; production and use of enzymes; biomass; byproduct recovery and effluent treatment.
