Book Description
Leading experts in enzyme manipulation describe in detail their cutting-edge techniques for the screening, evolution, production, immobilization, and application of enzymes. These readily reproducible methods can be used to improve enzyme function by directed evolution, to covalently immobilize enzymes, to microencapsulate enzymes and cells, and to manufacture enzymes for human health, nutrition, and environmental protection. Overview chapters on microorganisms as a source of metabolic and enzymatic diversity, and on the fast-moving field of enzyme biosensors are presented. Microbial Enzymes and Biotransformations offers laboratory and industrial scientists a wealth of proven enzymatic protocols that show clearly how to go from laboratory results to successful industrial applications.

Book Description
The FDA's Bad Bug Book is designed for healthcare professionals diagnosing and treating foodborne illnesses.
The United States Food and Drug Administration, an agency that protects the health of the American people, is one of the most successful and proudest creations of the American democracy. The FDA's origins go back to the start of the 20th century, when revelations about filth in the Chicago stockyards shocked the nation into awareness that, in an industrial economy, protection against unsafe products is beyond any individual's means. The U.S. Congress responded to Upton Sinclair's best-selling The Jungle by passing the Food and Drugs Act of 1906 that prohibited interstate commerce in misbranded and adulterated food and drugs. Enforcement of the law was entrusted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Chemistry, which later became the FDA.
