Description :
The springer handbook of marine biotechnology provides, for the first time, a complete and consistent overview of the methods, applications, and products of marine biotechnology. Since a large portion of the surface of the earth is covered by the oceans and more than 80% of living organisms are found in aquatic ecosystems, they constitute a rich reservoir for various chemical materials and (bio-)chemical processes. Marine biotechnology studies these biochemical materials and processes from marine sources and makes them available to applications as pharma-ceuticals, cosmeceuticals or nutraceuticals as well as for the production of bioenergy and biofuels. Edited by prof. Dr. Se-Kwon Kim, a renowned expert with a longstanding experience, and including over 60 chapters from leading international scientists, this handbook is a major authoritative desk reference for everyone interested or working in the field of marine biotechnology and bioprocessing. The handbook is divided into 10 parts. Part A: marine flora and fauna. Part B: tools and methods in marine biotechnology. Part C: marine genomics. Part D: marine algal biotechnology. Part E: marine microbiology and biotechnology. Part F: marine-derived metabolites. Part G: application of marine biotechnology. Part H: bioenergy and biofuels. Part I: bio-medical applications. Part J: industrial applications.
