Advances in Dendritic Macromolecules, Volume 4 (Advances in Dendritic Macromolecules)

Book Description

The series Advances in Dendritic Macromolecules aims to cover the synthesis and supramolecular chemistry of dendritic or cascade super-molecules as well as their less perfect hyperbranched cousins.

The field of hyperbranched macromolecules, specifically dendrimers, has continued to expand at an amazing rate. The synthetic aspects, which were assumed to be over several years ago, have opened new avenues into the mesomolecular regime. The synthetic ingenuity of chemical artists has afforded new monomers and their diverse combinations to give rise to (poly)functionalized materials that embrace new supramolecular concepts in areas such as molecular recognition, assembly, encapsulation, and inclusion; catalysts; coatings; drug delivery systems; and in essence opens up the field of suprasupermolecular chemistry.

In chapter 1 the synthesis of organometallic and related transition metal-cotaining dendrimers is summarized and their novel properties and useful applications are described. Chapter 2 covers work on the commercial poly(propylene imine)s, including the "dendritic box", dendrimer-based superamphiphiles, and unimolecular inverse micelles. The next chapter looks at aspects of chirality in dendritic systems and this is followed by a look inside dendrimers from a molecular topologist's point-of-view.

Book Description

This second edition of Foodborne Diseases deals with four aspects of the topic: principles, infections, intoxications, and prevention. In addition to outlining the various infections like Salmonella, some of the other topics covered are: disease processes in foodborne illness; natural toxicants; seafood toxins; microbiology of food preservation and sanitation; and organizing a safe food supply system. Chapters are clearly illustrated, and this latest edition contains an increased number of diagrams and tables.It also adopts a more global view, and the list of contributors is more
international. Extensively indexed and easy-to-read, this work should serve as a reference to anyone with concerns about the global impact of
foodborne diseases.

Key Features
* New for the second edition:
* An emphasis on 'readability'
* Increased number of illustrations
* 2-colour throughout
* Extensive indexing (by the Editors) to encourage use of the book as a desk reference
* Chapters describing each of the important causes of foodborne disease (known as the 'bug parade') will be placed between a section on the general principles of foodborne disease and a section on the general principles of preventing foodborne disease
* The section on cancer, heart disease and other chronic illnesses as allegedly foodborne to be extensively revised
* An increased number of scanning electron micrographs of the disease agents themselves
* Many flow and schematic diagrams for laboratory methods, food processes and organizations
* New approaches, such as molecular biology techniques and hazard analysis-critical control points (HACCP) to be presented in context

Book Description

The purpose of this volume is to highlight wide-ranging applications of genomics in the area of applied mycology and biotechnology.

The volume covers: a brief overview on fungal genomics; meiotic recombination in fungi; molecular genetics of circadian rhythms; genome sequencing; transposable elements; mitochondrial genomes; ribosome biogenesis; pathogenicity genes; genetic improvement of yeasts; microarrays: techniques and applications; fungal germplasm and data bases. Although it is difficult to develop a comprehensive volume on fungal genomics because of the range and complexity of the emerging knowledge, an attempt has been made to bring together pertinent information that will serve the needs of the reader, provide a quick reference to material that might otherwise be difficult to locate, and furnish a starting point for further study.

Book Description

The first book of its kind published in the United States since 1957, this comprehensive reference/text provides a thoroughly updated and expanded treatment of dairy microbiology from basic information on dairy foods to special topics, including the microbiology of milk-producing animals, probiotics, and conversion of whey into useful products. Applied Dairy Microbiology discusses the microbiology of the rumen and the role of microorganisms in milk synthesis explores the causes and contamination of raw milk by mastitis offers solutions to problems associated with raw milk, fluid milk products, concentrated and dried milk and whey, frozen dairy desserts, butter, other unfermented foods, in addition to fermented milks and cheese examines the genetics and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria as well as how they are used to produce fermented products emphasizes the importance of eliminating health concerns of salmonellosis, staphylococcal food poisoning, listeriosis, and other diseases introduces the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approach to controlling pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in dairy food processing features sampling and testing methods for assuring the quality and safety of milk products provides details on treating dairy wastes and complying with regulatory requirements and more! Containing over 1800 bibliographic citations, tables, drawings, and photographs, Applied Dairy Microbiology is an essential reference for food and dairy microbiologists, scientists, and technologists; quality control specialists; administrators of food and dairy programs in local, state, and federal regulatory agencies; dairy plant managers; ingredient suppliers to dairy industries; and veterinarians; as well as a lucid text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

Book Description

The objective of the Springer Handbook of Enzymes is to provide in concise form data on enzymes sufficiently well characterized. Data sheets are arranged in their EC-Number sequence. Each volume comprises one enzyme class, sometimes the enzyme classes have to be divided into several volumes. Considerable progress has been made in enzymology since the publication of the first edition (published as "Enzyme Handbook"): many enzymes are newly classified or reclassified. In the 2nd edition each entry is correlated with references and one or more source organisms. New datafields are created: "application" and "engineering" (for the properties of enzymes where the sequence has been changed). Altogether the amount of data has doubled so that the 2nd edition will consist of 39 volumes plus synonym index. This collection is an indispensable source of information for researchers in biochemistry, biotechnology, organic and analytical chemistry, and food sciences.
