ADVANCED FERMENTATION AND CELL TECHNOLOGYA comprehensive and up-to-date reference covering both conventional and novel industrial fermentation technologies and their applicationsFermentation and cell culture technologies encompass more than the conventional microbial and enzyme systems used in the agri-food, biochemical, bioenergy and pharmaceutical industries. New technologies such as genetic engineering, systems biology, protein engineering, and mammalian cell and plant cell systems are expanding rapidly, as is the demand for sustainable production of bioingredients, drugs, bioenergy and biomaterials. As the growing biobased economy drives innovation, industrial practitioners, instructors, researchers, and students must keep pace with the development and application of novel fermentation processes and a variety of cell technologies.Advanced Fermentation and Cell Technology provides a balanced and comprehensive overview of the microbial, mammalian, and plant cell technologies used by the modern biochemical process industry to develop new and improved processes and products. This authoritative volume covers the essential features of advanced fermentation and cell technology, and highlights the interaction of food fermentation and cell culture biopharmaceutical actives. Detailed chapters, organized into five sections, cover microbial cell technology, animal and plant cell technology, safety issues of new biotechnologies, and applications of microbial fermentation to food products, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Written by an internationally-recognized expert in food biotechnology, this comprehensive volume:* Covers both conventional and novel industrial fermentation technologies and their applications in a range of industries* Discusses current progress in novel fermentation, cell culture, commercial recombinant bioproducts technologies* Includes overviews of the global market size of bioproducts and the fundamentals of cell technology* Highlights the importance of sustainability, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), quality assurance, and regulatory practices* Explores microbial cell technology and culture tools and techniques such as genome shuffling and recombinant DNA technology, RNA interference and CRISPR technology, molecular thermodynamics, protein engineering, proteomics and bioinformatics, and synthetic biologyAdvanced Fermentation and Cell Technology is an ideal resource for students of food science, biotechnology, microbiology, agricultural sciences, biochemical engineering, and biochemistry, and is a valuable reference for food scientists, researchers, and technologists throughout the food industry, particularly the dairy, bakery, and fermented beverage sectors.

This fifteenth part completes the dictionary initiated by Wolfgang Steinitz and started in 1966. It contains indexes of German and Russian meanings and of the etymologically analyzed words.

Optische Instrumente des 17. Jahrhunderts aus Augsburg sind kaum erhalten. Auch die frühen Optiker sind nahezu völligem Vergessen anheimgefallen. Mit ihrer Arbeit über Johann Wiesel und seine Nachfolger schließt die Verfasserin daher nicht nur eine Lücke in der Handwerksgeschichte Augsburgs, sondern erbringt auch einen Beitrag zur Frühgeschichte der optischen Instrumente. Die Autorin, die als Expertin ihres Forschungsgebietes internationale Anerkennung genießt, hat eine außergewöhnliche Rekonstruktionsleistung vollbracht. Was Inge Keil in ihrer Monographie erstmals und akribisch untersucht, ist eine bislang kaum bekannte Verknüpfung von Augsburger Leistungen mit der europäischen Entwicklung. Obwohl die Hauptperson, um die es in der Darstellung geht, mit der Signatur "Augustanus Opticus" ihre Stadtzugehörigkeit betonte, handelte es sich um einen zeitgenössisch europaweit bekannten und vernetzten Erfinder und Hersteller fortgeschrittener optischer Technologie. Für eine bestimmte Phase stellten Geräte aus Augsburger Fertigung weltweit führende Spitzenprodukte dar, stand also die oberdeutsche Reichsstadt und Zentrale südmitteleuropäischen Austausches auch in dieser Hinsicht im Mittelpunkt der einschlägigen Welt.
