Description

This new, much needed conference series starts with a first volume on novel microbial products in medicine and agriculture. This is clearly a reflection of the rapidly increasing level of scientific enquiry in the search for useful microbial metabolites with other than anti-infective activities. Novel Microbial Products is an impressive collection of scientific data reflecting new ideas and methods which have changed concepts and expanded the field. An essential book for the industrial microbiologist.
