Over the past 2 decades, new or more efficient industrial processes involving microorganisms have been launched, yielding purer, less expensive products or substances not available using classical chemical methods. Microbial Bioprocesses aims to give an overview of established and successful processes and discusses the trends and perspectives in industrial microbiology which, along with tremendous progress in genetic and metabolic engineering in recent years, are once again becoming an area of innovation and emerging technologies. Microbial Bioprocesses covers the unique areas like microbial volatiles (MVOCs), microbial bioinoculant development, bacterial nanocelluloses production, and processes for remediation by fungi and actinobacteria.
- Provides an innovative description of emerging bioprocesses for biotechnological gains
- Provides a broad cross section of microbial bioprocess that covers several sustainability applications
- Gives general insights about how microorganisms can be utilized in production of various chemicals
Researchers working on the areas of microbial bioprocesses, Doctoral and Masters level researchers, scientists and professionals working on allied disciplines
