Non-Conventional Yeasts in Genetics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Know about the book -

Non-Conventional Yeasts in Genetics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology is written by Klaus Wolf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3642557589 (ISBN 10) and 9783642557583 (ISBN 13).

Most information on yeasts derives from experiments with the conventional yeasts Saccaromyces cerevisiae and Schizossaccharomyces pombe, the complete nuclear and mitochondrial genome of which has also been sequenced. For all other non-conventional yeasts, investigations are in progress and the rapid development of molecular techniques has allowed an insight also into a variety of non-conventional yeasts. In this bench manual, over 70 practical protocols using 15 different non-conventional yeast species and in addition several protocols of general use are described in detail. All of these experiments on the genetics, biochemistry and biotechnology of yeasts have been contributed by renowned laboratories and have been reproduced many times. The reliable protocols are thus ideally suited also for undergraduate and graduate practical courses.
