Biotechnology: A Laboratory Course integrates basic molecular biology and protein biochemistry through a series of experiments with a common theme. The course is designed to provide students with experience in and understanding of selected methods, techniques, and instrumentation ¡n modern biotechnology. A continuum is established by using two principal organisms: the bacterium Escherichia coli and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, this course focuses on a single plasmid and a single enzyme for demonstrating various biotechnological manipulations. This text should serve as an excellent aid in the establishment or instruction of an introductory laboratory course in biotechnology.
