This volume contains IUPAC-approved definitions of
over 230 terms most frequently used in the multidisciplinary field
of biotechnology, together with their translation into six further
languages, namely French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and
Spanish. The terms are presented in dictionary format for easy look-up.
The aim has been to facilitate communication between chemists, chemical
engineers, biologists, and bioengineers, and to render biotechnology
more accessible to the chemical profession. The scope of this work
includes the fields of microbiology, genetic engineering, biochemistry,
molecular biology, biochemical engineering, bioprocessing, and general
concepts of biotechnology, which makes this compilation and indispensable
reference.
