Industrial Application of Microbial Enzyme Technology

Description

This book focusing on current and future uses of microbes as production organisms, this practice-oriented textbook complements traditional texts on microbiology and biotechnology. The author focus on the “translation” of basic research into industrial processes and cite numerous successful examples. Microbial enzymes are of great importance in the development of industrial bioprocesses. Current applications are focused on many different markets including pulp and paper, leather, detergents and textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemical, food and beverages, biofuels, animals feed and personal care among others. Microbial enzymes are known to play a crucial role as metabolic catalysts, leading to their use in various industries and applications. The demand for industrial enzymes is on a continuous crise driven by a growing need for sustainable solutions. Microbes have served and continue to serve as one of the largest and useful sources of many enzymes.
