Comprehensive discussion of production and purification strategies for microbial enzymes important to various industries, from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals
Microbial Enzymes provides expert insight into diverse aspects of microbial enzymes, highlighting strategies for their production, purification, and manipulation, elucidating eco-friendly industrial applications, and discussing several production processes, such as the production of cellulose and non-synthetic indigo dye. This book emphasizes recent technological interventions in microbial enzyme technology like metagenomics, system biology, molecular biology, genomics, directed evolution, and bioinformatics.
The important microbial enzymes highlighted in his book include Xylanases, Ureases, Methane monooxygenase, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, pectinases, Peroxidases, a-L-rhamnosidase, Alkane hydroxylases, Laccases, Proteases, Gallic acid decarboxylase, Chitinases, Beta glucosidase, Lipases, Inulinases, Tannase, Mycozyme, ACC deaminase, Ligninolytic enzymes, and many more.
Novel treatment methods involving strains of microorganisms with desirable properties applicable in the process of bioremediation through mitigating climate concern, increasing green production technology, improving agriculture productivity, and providing a means of earning a livelihood are discussed. Readers will also gain state-of-the-art background knowledge on existing technologies and their current challenges and future prospects.
Contributed to by leading experts in the field and edited by four highly qualified academics, Microbial Enzymes explores sample topics including:
- Strategies for the discovery and enhancement of enzyme function, and potentials for system biology to better understand the kinetics of industrially important enzymes
- Production and therapeutic applications of monoclonal antibodies in cancer and other diseases, and characterization of Phytopathogens Tannase as a virulence factor
- Opportunities to produce enzymes through food waste and byproducts, and recent developments in computational tools affecting the field
- Use of Omics tools in the discovery of fungal enzymes and secondary metabolites
Microbial Enzymes is a thorough and highly practical reference on the subject for students, scientists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, and policymakers working in environmental microbiology, biotechnology, and environmental sciences.
