Engineering Biology for Microbial Biosynthesis of Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds will be of great interest to undergraduate and graduate students, scientists, researchers, and engineers who work on the microbial production of plant-derived bioactive compounds. As many plant-derived bioactive compounds are the foundation of effective drugs to cure diseases, it's important to understand the limits of their applications in drugs and other industries. With the development of synthetic biology and green biomanufacturing, the biosynthesis of complex bioactive compounds is possible. However, the engineering fundamentals for microbial biosynthetic of plant-derived bioactive compounds is vast.
This book summarizes the engineering fundamental biotechnologies for microbial production of plant-derived bioactive compounds, allowing the content to be easily accessed. Coverage includes summaries of key achievements, identification of challenges, current approaches, tips and tricks, and helpful insights into critical bottlenecks.
