An Introduction

Of major economic, environmental and social importance, industrial
microbiology involves the utilization of microorganisms in the
production of a wide range of products, including enzymes, foods,
beverages, chemical feedstocks, fuels and pharmaceuticals, and
clean technologies employed for waste treatment and pollution
control.


Aimed at undergraduates studying the applied aspects of biology,
particularly those on biotechnology and microbiology courses and
students of food science and biochemical engineering, this text
provides a wide-ranging introduction to the field of industrial
microbiology. The content is divided into three sections:




  • key aspects of microbial physiology, exploring the versatility
    of microorganisms, their diverse metabolic activities and
    products



  • industrial microorganisms and the technology required for
    large-scale cultivation and isolation of fermentation
    products



  • investigation of a wide range of established and novel
    industrial fermentation processes and products



Written by experienced lecturers with industrial backgrounds,
Industrial Microbiology provides the reader with groundwork in both
the fundamental principles of microbial biology and the various
traditional and novel applications of microorganisms to industrial
processes, many of which have been made possible or enhanced by
recent developments in genetic engineering technology.




  • A wide-ranging introduction to the field of industrial
    microbiology



  • Based on years of teaching experience by experienced lecturers
    with industrial backgrounds



  • Explains the underlying microbiology as well as the industrial
    application.
