African Journal of Biotechnology
The African Journal of Biotechnology (AJB), a new broad-based journal, was founded on two key tenets: To publish the most exciting research in all areas of applied biochemistry, industrial microbiology, molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, food and agricultural technologies, and metabolic engineering. Secondly, to provide the most rapid turn-around time possible for reviewing and publishing, and to disseminate the articles freely for teaching and reference purposes. All articles published in AJB are peer-reviewed.
Abstracts and Full text of articles are available without charge from the November 2002 issue on the African Journal of Biotechnology (http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB/ ) website
