~ Springer
Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology reviews actual trends in modern
biotechnology. Its aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where
knowledge, methods and expertise are required for chemistry, biochemistry, micro-
biology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Special volumes are dedi-
cated to selected topics which focus on new biotechnological products and new pro-
cesses for their synthesis and purification. They give the state-of-the-art of a topic in a
comprehensive way thus being a valuable source for the next 3-5 years. It also discusses
new discoveries and applications.
In general, special volumes are edited by well known guest editors. The series editor and
publisher will however always be pleased to receive suggestions and supplementary infor-
mation. Manuscripts are accepted in English.
In references Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology is abbreviated as
Adv Biochem Engin/Biotechnol as a journal.
