UNDERSTANDING ENZYMES, Second Edition T. PALMER, Principal Lecturer in Biochemistry, Department of Life Sciences, Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham This successful and lucidly-written book, described in The Times Higher Education Supplement as both "refreshing" and "well balanced in content", has now been thoroughly revised and brought completely up to date. Many of the illustrations in the First Edition have been re-drawn; and the references brought up to the newest available literature.

"a good introduction... Contains several features which set it apart from others on this topic... Clear and concise book which can be read with profit... An excellent stepping stone to more advanced treatises"- D. W. Hutchinson in British Book News (writing about the 1 st Edition).

HANDBOOK OF ENZYME BIOTECHNOLOGY, Second Edition Editor: A. WISEMAN, Department of Biochemistry, University of Surrey "a fine, well-written, easy-to-use, and comprehensive book which we recommend to those who either use or produce enzymes"George W. Malaney and Robert D. Tanner, Vanderbilt University, in Journal of the American Chemical Society "an excellent textbook for students... Valuable work of reference to biological scientists of many disciplines from clinical biochemistry to food technology"-Xenobiotica

DISCOVERY AND ISOLATION OF MICROBIAL PRODUCTS Editor: M. S. VERRALL, Extraction Section Manager, Beecham Pharmaceuticals (Research Division), Betchworth, Surrey This broad-based coverage of microbial isolation discusses the subject in terms of technique rather than specific products. It is essentially a practical book of value to those already involved in the field and to those new to it.

SUGAR TRANSPORT AND METAROLISM IN GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA Editors: J. REIZER and A. PETERKOFSKY, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA An excellent academic book in microbial biochemistry written by two experts in the field, collating specially-written reviews by authorities, filling an important gap in the literature.

Dealing with all aspects of transport and metabolism of sugars in gram-positive bacteria, the book covers genetics and structure as well as regulation and energetics.

ENVIRONMENTAL BIOTECHNOLOGY Editors: C. F: FORSTER and D. A. J. WASE, Department of Biochemistry, University of, Birmingham This is an up-to-date and detailed overview of environmental biotechnology, a specific application of biotechnology to the management of environmental problems including waste treatment, pollution control and integration with non-biological technologies. The book covers the principles involved and gives detailed information on various processes.

PROCESS POSSIBILITIES FOR PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL CULTURES C. WEBB and F. MAVITUNA, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology This book, for all those in biotechnology, biochemistry, chemical and process engineering, food research, pharmacy, cell culture, plant and biological science, aniìmal health botany, and agriculture, covers such topics as the process possibilities of plant and animal cell cultures, capsaicin biosynthesis in cell cultures of capsicum frutescens, the use of microcarriers in animal cell cultures, the effect of scale-up on plant cell culture performance, characteristics of immobilised plant cell reactors, reactor requirements for animal cells, bioreactor design for shear-sensitive insect cells, and large scale hybridoma culture.
