Yeast Book

The importance of yeasts in the biotechnology industry has progressed well beyond baking and brewing. Yeasts are now the organisms of choice for the incorporation of mammalian genes for expressing proteins and other products which were previously obtained from animals. Some yeasts, due to their potential to cause intractable diseases, also have medical significance. Yeast provides clear descriptions of the methods used in current research. Written by scientists of great experience, this book provides an important compendium of methods for established researchers. It will also benefit workers new to the field.
