An Introduction
Of major economic, environmental and social importance, industrialAimed 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:
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.
Content is divided into three sections:
1. key aspects of microbial physiology, exploring the
versatility of microorganisms, their diverse metabolic activities
and products
2. industrial microorganisms and the technology required for
large-scale cultivation and isolation of fermentation products
3. investigation of a wide range of established and novel
industrial fermentation processes and products
