Ecb6: Proceedings of the 6th European Congress on Biotechnology, Florence, Italy, 13-17 June 1993

This volume, published in two parts, illustrates front-line research in biotechnology, paying special attention to recent developments. New emerging areas of biotechnological research and applications are presented, as well as various aspects of two important and interwoven problems: the raising of the competitive edge of industrial production; and the protection of the environment and improvement of the quality of life. The volume reflects the "State of the Art of Biotechnology", and will be of value to biotechnologists, applied and industrial microbiologists, and molecular geneticists.
