Biotechnology of Antibiotics and Other Bioactive Microbial Metabolites (1993)Hardcover - 1993, 31 December 1993

In response to the field's need for an introductory text, the authors have distilled the vast and scattered literature relating to the biotechnology of microbial secondary metabolites. General biology, biosynthesis, the search for novel metabolites, and techniques for strain improvement are all discussed to provide undergraduate and graduate students with a concise, readable overview of the field.
