Abstract
Proceedings of the symposium, held May 25-28, 1982 at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, entitled The Biological Basis of New Developments in Biotechnology. The application of basic knowledge in genetics and chemistry to new industrial processes based on recombinant DNA and related enzyme technologies indicates that future advances in biotechnology will be closely linked to fundamental work in the biological sciences. Continued progress in this field will clearly depend upon increased understanding of the underlying genetic mechanisms, biological processes, and microbial physiology and interactions. Specific topics covered are proteins, peptides, and genes for medicine; lymphoid cells and monoclonal antibodies in biomedical technology; biotechnology for agriculture; drugs and antibiotics; fuels and chemicals; industrial and applied microbiology; and biodegradation and enzyme technology. This multidisciplinary work presents new paths for microbiologicsts, biochemists, and those involved with biotechniques and bioengineering to explore.
