Professor F. Xavier Malcata, full professor at DEQB and researcher in the Biotechnology group at LEPABE/ALiCE, is the author of the book ‘Fundamentals of Biocatalysts: Cell Structure and Function’, published by Springer.

This book covers the fundamentals of cells as biocatalysts, including cell morphology, cell genetics, cell metabolism, cell function, cell stoichiometry, cell engineering and cell interaction. A pragmatic and systematic approach to all these topics is provided, from the point of view of a biological engineer – illustrated by carefully selected and carefully solved problems proposed at the end of each section.
