Now Available in Paperback Here is an important source for the advanced technologies of modern biotechnology. It encompasses with a wide range of topics. It highlights the roles of targeted delivery of polymeric nanodrugs to cancer cells and microbial detoxifying enzymes in bioremediation and bacterial plasmids in antimicrobial resistance, while also addressing modern trends such as pharmacogenomics, gene expression, recombinant proteins from methylotrophic yeast, novel fermentation inhibitors of bioethanol production, and polyhydroxyalkanoate-based biomaterials. The book also covers the practical utility of biotechnology and bioinformatics for bioenergy, environmental remediation, production of high value biochemicals, modeling molecular interactions, drug discovery, and healthcare and personalized medicine. Modern biotechnology is an interdisciplinary, revolutionary, and beneficial branch of biology that encompasses various advanced techniques. In agriculture, biotechnology plays a crucial role for crop improvement to transfer genes between different plants to enhance characteristics such as yield and disease resistance. In healthcare, the role of biotechnology encompasses genetic testing, gene therapy, drug development, and pharmacogenomics. Bioengineering is the physical side of biotechnology that focuses on the genetic manipulation in the biological systems. In the current scenario, bioremediation and biodegradation play a crucial role by focusing on the design and development of technologies using microorganisms to cleanup environmental pollution. Application of biotechnological aspects with the knowledge of bioinformatics further leads to the development of newer technologies. In order to apply the knowledge of biotechnology, we need the support of bioinformatics to acquire relevant information of biological data. In the era of molecular medicine and personalized genomics, there needs to be an integration of genomic, cellular, molecular, and clinical data which are all possible through bioinformatics. The book is aimed at graduates, scholars, biotechnology researchers, and bioinformatics professionals in applied biotechnology, bioengineering, biomedical sciences, microbiology and environmental sciences to broaden their knowledge about these newer tools, techniques, innovations, and applications.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with. In the same vein, I hope AAP was satisfied with the book series I have edited in advancing the knowledge. It has been a great journey and was a great pleasure and satisfaction. Advancing scholarship through publications is one of the best routes publishers can take, and I would hold AAP as one of the best ones.” —Saber Saleuddin, PhD, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada AAP book title: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology: Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Macromolecular Systems “It had been my pleasure to work with the production team of Apple Academic Press for almost a decade.
