"Practical Biotransformations: A Beginner's Guide" provides an introduction to microbes and enzymes and demonstrates their practical applications in synthetic organic chemistry. Designed as a laboratory manual, this user-friendly guide discusses standard laboratory techniques, with appropriate advice on aspects of microbial practice and associated safety.
Topics covered include: An introduction to equipment in a biotransformations laboratoryAn overview of biocatalyst sourcesMaintenance and growth of biocatalystsExample biotransformations using commercially available microbes and enzymesBasic gene cloning and the use of 'designer' biocatalysts
This book will be a valuable resource for synthetic organic chemists with little or no experience of biochemistry or microbiology. It is the author's hope that this text will inspire readers to consider biocatalytic methods as real alternatives to traditional synthetic solutions.
