This Springer Handbook provides, for the first time, a complete and
consistent overview over the methods, applications, and products in
the field of marine biotechnology. A large portion of the surface
of the earth (ca. 70%) is covered by the oceans. More than 80% of
the living organisms on the earth are found in aquatic ecosystems.
The aquatic systems thus constitute a rich reservoir for various
chemical materials and (bio-)chemical processes. Edited by a
renowned expert with a longstanding experience, and including over
60 contributions from leading international scientists, the
Springer Handbook of Marine Biotechnology is a major authoritative
desk reference for everyone interested or working in the field of
marine biotechnology and bioprocessing - from undergraduate and
graduate students, over scientists and teachers, to professionals.
Marine biotechnology is concerned with the study of biochemical
materials and processes from marine sources, that play a vital role
in the isolation of novel drugs, and to bring them to industrial
and pharmaceutical development. Today, a multitude of bioprocess
techniques is employed to isolate and produce marine natural
compounds, novel biomaterials, or proteins and enzymes from marine
organisms, and to bring them to applications as pharmaceuticals,
cosmeceuticals or nutraceuticals, or for the production of
bioenergy from marine sources. All these topics are addressed by
the Springer Handbook of Marine Biotechnology. The book is divided
into ten parts. Each part is consistently organized, so that the
handbook provides a sound introduction to marine biotechnology -
from historical backgrounds and the fundamentals, over the
description of the methods and technology, to their applications -
but it can also be used as a reference work. Key topics include: -
Marine flora and fauna - Tools and methods in marine biotechnology
- Marine genomics - Marine microbiology - Bioenergy and biofuels -
Marine bioproducts in industrial applications - Marine bioproducts
in medical and pharmaceutical applications - and many more...
