Molecular Breeding and Genetics of Applied Microorganisms provides expert reviews on the developments in the field of applied microbiology in Japan. The book presents areas where further progress in applied microbiology is possible. Articles on these possibilities such as the use of recombinant DNA techniques to link fragments of DNA from unrelated organisms; creation of new strains of microorganisms to control pollution; construction of a ""biological battery"" using a photosynthetic system; and breeding of plant species tolerant to various plant diseases are explored in detail. Microbiologists, biologists, geneticists, biochemists, pharmacologists, and researchers will find the book insightful.
