Chemical biotechnology and bioengineering - No. 34

Chemically promoted biotechnology and bioengineering is an emerging field and part of the bio-based economy.

It seeks to improve the productivity of plant cell cultures using chemical elicitors, increasing yields of the secondary metabolites sought as a new source of chemical feedstocks.

This book introduces the reader to the field, presenting the theory behind the biotechnology of enzymatic reactions, and how they can be chemically enhanced.

Special emphasis is given to green plant protection products, demonstrating the capabilities of this new technique.
