The Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology combines Wiley’s acclaimed Encyclopedia of Bioprocess Technology and the Encyclopedia of Cell Technology in order to create a single resource and gateway to the many areas of industrial biotechnology for students, researchers, and technologists. In addition to revising and updating existing articles, the new Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology has been greatly expanded to cover important areas of pharmaceutical and biologics bioprocess technology, including:
  • Production of vaccines
  • Biopharmaceuticals and methods for manufacturing biomaterials
  • Biofabrication for the production of microfluidics
  • Tissue engineering
  • Biosensors
  • Bioelectronics
  • Bioarrays 
  • Bio-nanotechnology
IDEAL STARTING POINT FOR ANY RESEARCH PROJECT

The Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology was published in order to help readers make sense of the vast amounts of information that have been published around the world across a broad array of ournals, books, and websites. Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology is the ideal starting point for research projects involving any aspect of industrial biological processes, including fermentation, biocatalysis, bioseparation, and biofabrication. 

  • Presents all vital aspects – theoretical and practical – of industrial biological processes, techniques, equipment, products, as well as ethical and regulatory issues
  • Offers comprehensive coverage of industrial biotechnology in an easy to use, A to Z, encyclopedia format
  • Covers existing and emerging aspects of the biotechnology industry, including significant new information on Biopharmaceuticals and Biologics Fabrication
  • Written and edited by some of the world’s top experts in the field, making it a credible source of information

Alternatively to whole plants, plant cell cultures are used to produce bioactive substances for food industry, cosmetics and pharmacy. This mainly concerns secondary metabolites and recombinant proteins (so?called plant made proteins, PMPs). Among the employed culture types (which comprise suspension cultures, root cultures and shoot cultures), plant cell suspensions induced via callus cultures dominate. This fact can be explained by the suspension culture's morphology being less complex than those of root and shoot cultures, which allows easier cell banking and cultivation up to m3?scale.Based on a summary of semi? and commercial plant cell?derived products the preferable culture types and their establishment are described in more detail. Finally, most common indirect and direct methods of gene transformation (Agrobacterium?and virus?mediated transformation, particle bombardment, polyethylene glycol method, electroporation, microinjection) and of cell banking (slow growth storage, cryopreservation) are discussed for highly productive cell lines of plant origin.
