Langtext Technologien und Anwendungen der "weißen" Biochemie diskutieren die Autoren dieses Bandes unter Berücksichtigung des wirtschaftlichen Potenzials jeder Methode und der Folgen für die Gesellschaft. Der eher allgemein gehaltene Text verschafft dem Neueinsteiger auch einen aufschlussreichen Einblick in viele Industriezweige.
