Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Biochemical Engineering Symposium

This report presents the proceedings of the Biochemical Engineering Symposium held at Kansas State University, April 28, 1979. Since a number of the contributions will be published in detail elsewhere, only brief reports of each contribution are included here. Requests for further information on work at Iowa State University should be directed to Dr. Peter J. Reilly; at Colorado State University to Drs. V. G. Murphy and A. R. Moreira, and at Kansas State University to Drs. L. T. Fan and L. E. Erickson. ContentProperties of a Homogeneous Xylobiohydrolase from Aspergillus niger, Mary M.

Proceedings of the Eleventh Annual Biochemical Engineering Symposium

This is the eleventh in a series of symposia devoted to talks by students on their biochemical engineering research. The first, third, fifth, and ninth were at Kansas State University in Manhattan; the second and fourth were at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln; the sixth was in Kansas City in conjunction with the 8lst American Institute of Chemical Engineers National Meeting; the seventh and the tenth were at Iowa State University in Ames; and the eighth was held at the University of Missouri–Columbia.
