• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book emphasizes the importance of microbial physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and evolution in the study of biosynthesis. It takes into account the considerable advances made in the field in the last twenty years by the introduction of gene cloning and sequencing and by the exponential development of physical methods such as X-ray crystallography of proteins.
