Microbial Biotechnology: Integrated Microbial Engineering for B3-Bioenergy, Bioremediation and Bioproducts focuses on the applications of microbes as cell factories for production. The book investigates side streams of high value products from microbes and covers major topics in algal and bacterial biotechnology to produce biomass and high value metabolites through CO2 sequestration, genetic manipulation, and medium engineering tactics. It considers the entire repertoire of microbes for remediation and biomass generation as well as bioenergy, microbial community analysis, and metabolite characterization.
Users will find this to be an indispensable resource for industry professionals and researchers working in wastewater management and microbial remediation, CO2 capture, and bio-products characterization.
