Biocatalysis has become an essential tool in the chemical industry
and is the core of industrial biotechnology, also known as white
biotechnology, making use of biocatalysts in terms of enzymes or
whole cells in chemical processes as an alternative to chemical
catalysts. This shift can be seen in the many areas of daily life
where biocatalysts-with their environmentally friendly
properties-are currently employed. Drivers are the big societal
challenges resulting from concerns about the global climate change
and the need for an assured energy supply. Modern biocatalysis
relies to a large extent on the tremendous advances in the
so-called omics techniques and the structural elucidation of
biomolecules, which have led to synthetic biology and metabolic
engineering as new research fields with high application potential
for the rational design of enzymes and microbial production
strains. In this book, renowned scientists discuss the actual
developments in these research fields together with a variety of
application-oriented topics.
