“Therefore, this book is a valuable compendium for researchers and users of biocatalysis from both, the academic and the industrial world.” (Catal Lett, 1 March 2013)
“This book is well organised, containing most key subjects one would expect in the multiple research areas of biocatalysis. It is suitable for graduate level students, postdocs, and industrial researchers. It also can be regarded as an auxiliary textbook for students who wish to know the pros and cons of biocatalysis in chemical processes, and what the future holds for the development of biotechnology in green chemistry.” (Chemistry World, 2012)
