Extremophiles are organisms that live in extreme conditions. Their
ability of surviving in extreme environments is due to their unique
physiological and genetic adaptations. Extremophiles are harnessed
for their extremozymes that have wide applications in
biotechnology, pharmaceutics and industry. Recent developments in
genomics and proteomics have helped unravel the mechanism of
survival, physiological adaptation and genomics structure of
extremophiles. This book covers the latest developments in
understanding the physiology and biochemistry of extremophiles. It
gives a complete idea about the microorganisms in these groups
along with their biotechnological applications and also discusses
the molecular genomics and molecular aspects of the extremophiles.
It also presents detailed aspects related to newer applications of
extremophiles in the industry will also be covered. The study of
extremophiles is gaining wide interest and this book bridges the
critical gap in knowledge related to extremophiles. This book is
essential to anyone who is interested in studying the microbiology,
biochemistry and application of these microorganisms.
This book offers valuable insights into the principles, mechanisms
of action and applications of traditional and novel enzymes
involved in the degradation of wastes. Enzymes are biological
catalysts that play an important role in various biochemical
reactions. The generation of value-added products by means of these
biological processes is also discussed. This book covers the use of
in silico and computational methods in understanding the
biodegradation processes, and reveals the importance of enzymes in
various biochemical reactions and kinetics. The book's target
audience includes undergraduate and graduate students, faculty
members at colleges and universities, research students, scientists
and industry professionals.
The world population is expected to increase exponentially within
the next decade, which means that the food demand will increase and
so will waste production. There is a need for effective food waste
management as wasted food leads to overutilization of water and
fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions from the
degradation of food. Global Initiatives for Waste Reduction and
Cutting Food Loss explores methods for reducing waste and cutting
food loss in order to help the environment and support local
communities, as well as solve issues including that of land space.
Covering topics that include food degradation, enzymes, and
microorganisms, this publication is designed for policymakers,
environmentalists, engineers, government officials, researchers,
scientists, academicians, and students.
