Scientists with international reputations contribute up-to-date reviews on gene expression in recombinant organisms. Each chapter provides a specialist's account of gene expression in one of the important classes of microorganism used to express both homologous and heterologous genes. Each chapter describes the state-of-the-art for the expression system, provides examples of the expression of homologous and heterologous genes, documents the industrial and commercial exploitation of the system, and speculates on future prospects and developments. A chapter on regulatory and safety aspects reviews current legislation in the US, England, Europe, and elsewhere. The measures taken for large scale operation are also addressed.
