Polyhydroxyalkanoate inclusions: polymer synthesis, self-assembly and display technology -- Self-assembly and application of cellulosomal components -- Protein-aided mineralization of inorganic nanostructures -- Amyloid fibrils as bionanomaterials -- Bacteriophages: self-assembly and applications -- Virus-like particles -- Plant oil bodies and oleosins: structure, function and biotechnological applications -- Visual restoration using microbial rhodopsins -- Magnetosomes -- Liposome-nanoparticle assemblies
Summary
Under the expert guidance of Bernd H.A. Rehm, the authors of this book provide a survey of the most striking and successful approaches for the production of biogenic nanodevices considering not only living organisms as manufacturer but also in vitro processes that utilize the self-assembly of isolated biomolecules. The book provides a topical overview of the vast field of bionanotechnology by describing various biological nanostructures, the implied design space and the enormous potential for applications in medicine and technology. Two chapters describe the microbial production of tailor-mad
