This important new book covers recent advancements, innovations,
and technologies in industrial biotechnology, specifically
addressing the application of various biomolecules in industrial
production and in cleaning and environmental remediation sectors.
The goal of industrial biotechnology is to develop new techniques
and technologies to transform renewable raw materials into
chemicals, materials, and fuels by the substitution of fossil
fuels. With the increase in the world's population and the
resultant growing energy demand, the need for more energy can be
successfully met with the advancements in industrial biotechnology.
Currently across the globe significant research has been undertaken
in the production of cleaner fuels, materials, and semi-synthetic
chemicals, with environmental benefits. Developing countries have
huge agricultural resources that could be utilized for production
of value-added byproducts for the sustainable development of
bio-based economy. The book opens with the chapter on the
production of exopolysaccharides from halophilic microorganisms, a
polymer that is normally very useful in various production sectors
of the food, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries. The book
goes on to cover: The production of antimicrobial compounds from
alkaliphilic bacteria Thermophilic actinomycetes Food, agro, and
pharmaceutical potential and biotechnological applications of
biosurfactants, halophiles, cyclodextrin glycosyl transferease,
fungal chitinase, proteases, yeasts and yeast products Also covered
in the book are the environmental aspects of industrial
biotechnology such as the genetic enhancement for biofuel
production, the production of biodegradable thermoplastics,
advancements in the synthesis of bio-oil, ecofriendly treatment of
agro-based lignocelluloses, and anaerobic bio reactors for
hydrocarbon remediation. The international roster of chapter
authors have been chosen for their renowned expertise and
contribution to the various fields of industrial biotechnology.
This book is suitable to chemists, biotechnologists from research
institutes, academia, and students as well as for industry
professionals
