Applications of Genomics and Proteomics for Analysis of Bacterial Biological Warfare Agents
Product Description
Recent scientific breakthroughs have improved our understanding of the impact of environmental toxic substances on human health. With the knowledge, new techniques are incorporated into human monitoring programs to identify damage to DNA, other macromolecules and cells that can be used to predict health risk from exposure to environmental genotoxic agents. The molecular and cellular responses are often measured in peripheral lymphocytes because these cells can be co… More >>Applications of Genomics and Proteomics for Analysis of Bacterial Biological Warfare Agents

Handbook on Cyanobacteria: Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Applications
Product Description
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, blue-green bacteria or cyanophyta, is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. They are a significant component of the marine nitrogen cycle and an important primary producer in many areas of the ocean, but are also found in habitats other than the marine environment; in particular, cyanobacteria are known to occur in both freshwater and hypersaline inland lakes. They are found in almost eve… More >>Handbook on Cyanobacteria: Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Applications
