PLANTS AS BIOREACTORS FOR INDUSTRIAL MOLECULES
An incisive and practical discussion of how to use plants as bioreactors
In Plants as Bioreactors for Industrial Molecules, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an insightful and global perspective on the use of plants as bioreactors. In the book, you'll find coverage of the basic, applied, biosynthetic, and translational approaches to the exploitation of plant technology in the production of high-value biomolecules. The authors focus on the yield and quality of amino acids, vitamins, and carbohydrates.
The authors explain how high-value biomolecules enable developers to create cost-effective biological systems for the production of biomolecules useful in a variety of sectors. They provide a holistic approach to plant-based biological devices to produce natural molecules of relevance to the health and agriculture industries.
Readers will also find:
* A thorough overview of plants as bioreactors and discussions of molecular farming for the production of pharmaceutical proteins in plants
* Comprehensive explorations of plants as edible vaccines and plant cell culture for biopharmaceuticals
* Practical discussions of the production of attenuated viral particles as vaccines in plants and insecticidal protein production in transgenic plants
* Extensive treatment of the regulatory challenges involved in using plants as bioreactors
Perfect for academics, scientists, and researchers in industrial microbiology and biotechnology, Plants as Bioreactors for Industrial Molecules will also earn a place in the libraries of biotechnology company professionals in applied product development.
