Request a sales quoteBiotechnology of Terpenoid Production from Microbial Cell Factories is a unique reference to help researchers, scientists and scholars explore available strategies involved in the production of terpenoid-based, value-added compounds from GRAS status (Generally Recognized as Safe by FDA) microbes to address the associated challenges for the industry. The book covers the most up-to-date information about microbial terpenoid production, including culture condition modulation for the improved and high-specificity production of terpenoid and their in-situ extraction. Each class of terpenoid is explained in detail, including their nutritional and pharmaceutical information and their molecular aspects.
- Provides an in-depth look at both the natural and metabolic engineering aspects of microbial terpenoid production
- Includes production strategies and existing challenges for each class of terpenoid from microbial sources
- Presents broad application opportunities of terpenoids such as food additives, pharmaceuticals and fragrances
- Includes brief chapter summaries and a glossary for each chapter to simplify technical applications
Young researchers and post-doctoral fellows who are looking into the area of flavors and pharmaceutical/nutraceutical production from microbial sources. Bio-scientists, bio-engineers from biopharmaceutical industries; biotechnology, microbiology, biochemical/chemical engineering graduate students and faculties from various higher education institutes; scientists from research institutes; and professionals from flavor and aromatic industries
