Molecular Biotechnology by Bernard R Glick

Molecular Biotechnology by Bernard R Glick

An authoritative introduction to the fast-changing world of molecular biotechnology

In continuous publication since 1994 and now in its sixth edition, Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Applications of Recombinant DNA has been effective in introducing this complex field to students for more than 25 years. This textbook covers essentially every aspect of the field of molecular biotechnology, which is constantly changing and adapting in light of new advances.

This edition includes the latest techniques in DNA sequencing and genetic engineering of microbial, plant, and animal genomes, including human genome editing, as well as updates across many areas, such as:

• Immunological assays for disease diagnosis, more effective bacteriophage therapy, and new ways of dealing with antibiotic-resistant bacteria
• New and developing vaccines for influenza, tuberculosis, and emerging viral threats, including Zika and SARS-CoV-2
• Engineering bacteria to perform plastic degradation and green algae to produce hydrogen, altering amino acid biosynthesis, and creating designer cellulosomes
• Production of humanized monoclonal antibodies in plants, modifying hybrid plants to produce clonal hybrids, and protecting plants from viral and fungal diseases

Molecular Biotechnology features nearly 600 detailed figures and is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in introductory biotechnology, as well as courses dedicated to utilizing this technology, such as medical, agricultural, environmental, and industrial biotechnology applications.

Professor Bernard R. Glick taught courses in Molecular Biotechnology and Plant-Microbe Interaction at the University of Waterloo in Canada for 35 years. He is the author of 350 highly cited scientific papers and nine books. He has been a visiting Professor at 15 different universities in 12 different countries where, over the years, he has taught 11 courses. In 2010 he was awarded a Career Achievement Award from the Canadian Council of University Biology Chairs.
