These microorganisms can be commercially exploited for beneficial purposes such as the production of whole microbial cells, for products for direct use, or as starting raw materials in the manufacture of other commercial products. The book reviews the newest techniques, approaches, and options in the use of microorganisms for the manufacture of industrially important products such as pharmaceuticals, industrial enzymes, chemicals, proteins, foods and beverages, and fuels. Additional sections cover fundamental principles of established and innovative industrial microbiology and biotechnology processes and products while also discussing industrial microorganisms and the technology required for large-scale cultivation and isolation of fermentation products.
- Covers key aspects of microbial physiology, exploring the versatility of microorganisms and their diverse metabolic activities and products
- Provides methods and various traditional and novel applications of microorganisms to industrial processes
- Contributed by a multidisciplinary group of experts who offer not only a thorough evaluation of the primary literature, but also invaluable first-hand experience in industrial microbiology and biotechnology
Researchers, academics, as well as industry professionals in the field of microbial biotechnology, applied microbiology, and biotechnology with keen interest in microbial-based product development and sustainable application, Graduate and post-graduates interested in the application of microbial properties to create products or by-products for agriculture, industrial, clinical, and commercial uses
