Deliberately breaking with the classical biology-centered
description of marine organisms and their products, this reference
emphasizes microbial technology over basic biology, setting it
apart from its predecessors. As such, it systematically covers the
technology behind high-value compounds for use as pharmaceuticals,
nutraceuticals or cosmetics, from prospecting to production issues.
Following a definition of the field, the book goes on to address
all industrially important aspects of marine microbial
biotechnology. The first main part contains a description of the
major production organisms, from archaebacteria to cyanobacteria to
algae and symbionts, including their genetic engineering. The
remaining four parts look at commercially important compounds
produced by these microorganisms together with their applications.
Throughout, the emphasis is on technological considerations, and
the future potential of these organisms or compound classes is
discussed. A valuable and forward-looking resource for innovative
biotechnologists in industry as well as in academia.
