According to the author, the book addresses to all the scientists and not only to immunologists or biologists of European countries who are engaged in developing a vaccine, or a diagnostic kit or a new drug against the infection or on schistosome evolution.
Agroecosystem is an ideal dynamic functional system with a set of chemical and biological interaction taking place in plant surface either below or above the ground levels.
Described as the earliest, simplest life forms, with unlimited metabolic versatility, bacteria are ideally suited to answer some very fundamental questions on life and its processes.
This book is designed to give students an understanding of the role of microorganisms in food processing and preservation; the relation of microorganisms to food spoilage, foodborne illness, and intoxication; general food processing and quality control; the role of microorganisms in health promotion; and federal food processing regulations.
Recent discoveries in microbiology are hard to grasp for those unfamiliar with scientific jargon, and the research data can be overwhelming even for those working in other scientific fields.
This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with discussions of the latest technology and advancements in the development of RNA vaccines and proposed solutions on how to tackle currently unmet medical needs.
Pine forests face a global threat of pine wilt disease, which is being spread by vector beetles carrying pathogenic nematodes from dead trees to healthy ones.
A series of international symposia on viral hepatitis and liver disease has been held triannially, and called the "e;Olympics"e; of this research field.
Many organisms in deep-sea environments are extremophiles thriving in extreme conditions: high pressure, high or low temperature, or high concentrations of inorganic compounds.
This volume is composed of chapters that review important fundamental aspects of HCV biology and disease pathogenesis including, for example, the discovery and identification of the HCV genome, early virus-cell interactions including identification of various cellular receptors, HCV gene expression studied using the HCV replicon system, identification and characterization of HCV structural- and non-structural HCV proteins, HCV replication in cultured cells, and host factors involved in viral replication.
Koki Horikoshi - discoverer of the alkaliphiles, microbes that thrive in alkaline environments - describes in his autobiography how the research on extremophiles started and developed.
This book describes cutting-edge science and technology of the characterization, breeding, and development of yeasts and fungi used worldwide in fermentation industries such as alcohol beverage brewing, bread making, and bioethanol production.
This book provides readers with information on the factors underlying the emergence of infectious diseases originating in animals and spreading to people.
Microbial production: From genome design to cell surface engineering affords a comprehensive review of novel technology and approaches being implemented for manufacturing microorganisms, written by specialists in both academia and industry.
Biodegradative Bacteria highlights the novel nature of bacterial cell functions in the field of biodegradation by putting them into three parts: (1) Genetic and genomic systems, (2) Degradative enzyme systems, and (3) Bacterial behavior in natural environmental systems.
This book presents the latest topics in ecological and evolutionary research on aquatic biodiversity from bacteria to fishes, with special reference to Lake Biwa, an ancient lake in western Japan.
The Extremophiles Handbook brings together the rapidly growing and often scattered information on microbial life in the whole range of extreme environments.
This book describes how methodologies in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, electromagnetic bioeffects, and nanotechnology were brought together to construct a nanostructure that is a composite of nucleic acid, carbon nanotube, paramagnetic metallic nanoparticles, and aromatic polymer that is responsive to nonionizing electromagnetic radiation, RFR to microwaves.
In vielen Ingenieurstudiengängen brauchen die Studierenden eine Einführung in die Biologie, wofür im Studienplan meist nur ein kleines Zeitfenster zur Verfügung steht.
Der Klimawandel und die Globalisierung, bei der täglich Millionen von Containern und Menschen von einem Kontinent zum anderen transportiert werden, bieten den Parasiten des Menschen eine Fülle von neuen Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten.
