Applied Microbiology and Bioengineering: An Interdisciplinary Approach discusses recent advances in microbiology and cutting-edge biotechnology that have generated interest among researchers. The book is divided into several sections, including Enzymes in Bioprocessing, Human Health, Microbial Physiology and Biomedical Applications, and Bioprocess Development. Included are some of the latest developments in the field, like smart actuators for innovative biomedical applications, microalgal antenna engineering for improved bioprocess of biofuel, cell line engineering, and synbiotic foods. It is a useful reference for those in the applied microbiology and biotechnology fields, but will also be useful for practitioners in biotech.

Zielgruppe

Masters, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers in life sciences; scientists involved in interdisciplinary research areas like applied microbiology, industrial microbiology, enzyme technology and biotechnology; practitioners in biotech industries; higher level graduate students in microbiology and biotechnology
