Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The 'new biotechnology' is beginning to have a major impact, especially in the biomedical area. However, in a less spectacular but significant way, many advances in biotechnology are also being made with innovative bioprocessing approaches. This was certainly true at the Eighth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, a forum established for the presentation and exchange of scientific and technical information in this area. There were over 90 scientific papers presented on a variety of relevant subjects. In addition, the five discussion topics ranged from 'Mathematical Modeling for Bioprocessing' to 'Microbial Interactions with Coal'. Two special topics were addressed: 'Chemicals from Tissue Culture' and 'Value-Added Chemicals'.
"An Interscience publication.".
