Editorial Reviews

… is a very helpful reference text for the scientists who want to understand the bio-transformations and the bio-processes supported them involved in the production of complex, valuable and ecological compounds and discuss the advances of the bio-technologies in the future. … cover the major aspects of biotransformations and bioprocesses, from the viewpoint of the specific phenomena and processes involve in the production of bioactive compounds, being useful to the scientists interested on biotechnology fundaments and perspectives.”
—Professor Dan Cascaval, Technical University “GH Asachi” of Iasi, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, in Iasi Polytechnic Magazine, Vol. 17, No. 1 / 4, March/December 2005
“…concise yet comprehensive, covering chemistry and engineering aspects of biotransformation and giving an overview of the various steps involved during the transition from a lab to the plant. This book has illustrations, homework problems, and innovative extensions. This approach will encourage students to obtain a more in-depth understanding of key scientific and engineering concepts.”
