Free Download Gloria Soberón-Chávez, "Biosurfactants: From Genes to Applications"
English | 2010 | pages: 220 | ISBN: 3642144896 | PDF | 2,2 mb
Biosurfactants, tensio-active compounds produced by living cells, are now gaining increasing interest due to their potential applications in many different industrial areas in which to date almost exclusively synthetic surfactants have been used. Their unique structures and characteristics are just starting to be appreciated. In addition, biosurfactants are considered to be environmentally "friendly," relatively non-toxic and biodegradable. This Microbiology Monographs volume deals with the most recent advances in the field of microbial biosurfactants, such as rhamnolipids, serrawettins, trehalolipids, mannosylerythritol lipids, sophorolipids, surfactin and other lipopeptides. Each chapter reviews the characteristics of an individual biosurfactant including the physicochemical properties, the chemical structures, the role in the physiology of the producing microbes, the biosynthetic pathways, the genetic regulation, and the potential biotechnological applications.

English | 2017 | pages: 775 | ISBN: 019879536X, 0198712553 | PDF | 127,3 mb
In the past, introductory biology courses based on evolution tended to give short shrift to molecular biology. Introductory molecular biology and genetics courses tended to ignore evolutionary principles altogether or included them as concluding chapters that were often skipped. Bacteria were usually treated separately from eukaryotes. Using the analysis of genomes as the organizing approach in Genetics: Genes, Genomes, and Evolution provides the opportunity to unite these topics in one narrative.

Free Download N E & B K Whitehead, "My Genes Made Me Do It! Homosexuality and the Scientific Evidence"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 0473174863 | PDF | pages: 262 | 3.3 mb
Are homosexuals born or made? Are people born heterosexual? Can gays change their sexual orientation? While the West has generally capitulated to the idea that homosexuality is innate and unchangeable, the scientific facts are now indisputable-homosexuality is not biologically hard-wired in any way. In fact half the homosexual population moves towards heterosexuality in the natural course of life-it’s just that very few people ever hear about it . This clear, comprehensive and accessible book takes an objective and orthodox look at over 10,000 scientific papers and draws the only conclusion possible: any biological contribution to homosexuality is weak and indirect. But that doesn’t mean homosexuality is a choice; rather it is discovered to exist within oneself. It is overwhelmingly the cumulative result of personal responses to life events-as many human predicaments are. But people with same-sex attraction are no more the victim of their orientation than anybody else mastered by a deep-seated and powerful set of responses that are environmental in essence. Answers and relief are possible where there is informed assistance. Neil and Briar Whitehead have been researching homosexuality for nearly 20 years. Neil is a research scientist with a PhD in biochemistry. Briar is a writer.

Free Download Rodent Quality Control: Genes and Bugs: Monitoring Health and Genetics of Laboratory Animals
English | 2024 | ISBN: 303159102X | 250 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 68 MB
This book shows how and why quality assurance programmes should be implemented in laboratory rodent facilities to monitor animal health and genetic status. It covers common practice to assure the desired level of microbiological and genetic surveillance of both genetically standardized and genetically altered laboratory mice and rats. In particular, the book introduces readers to the standardized genetic nomenclature and provides step-by-step protocols for genetic monitoring of the animals. International standards of health monitoring programs are discussed and statistical aspects thereof are explored. Furthermore, the book reviews common infectious diseases in laboratory rodents and guides the reader in monitoring the animals’ health status through application of current diagnostic methods.

Free Download Stephen Rothman, "The Life Beyond Molecules and Genes: How Our Adaptations Make Us Alive"
English | 2009 | pages: 241 | ISBN: 1599472503 | PDF | 0,6 mb
What makes us alive? Is it our DNA? Our genetics? Is it our atomic composition that gives us life? Somehow, all of this feels radically dissonant from our everyday experience. In Life Beyond Molecules and Genes, experimental biologist Stephen Rothman makes the bold case that it is, in fact, our adaptive abilities, hewn by evolution, that make us alive. In making this point, he reveals a hidden harmony between science and life as we live it.
