Description
Microbial Alchemy offers an interdisciplinary exploration of microorganisms, their chemical properties, and their ability to transform substances through metabolic processes and sythesize them into bioproducts of commercial value and sustainable application.This book opens with an introduction to microbial alchemy covering cellular and molecular mechanism for alchemy production, secondary metabolites, and fermentation alchemy. It provides an analysis of the chemistry produced by microbes that influence eco-enterprising strategies and explores the bioprospecting of an array of microbial metabolic products and their applications in various fields and industries. With additional coverage on compliance, regulations, and market acceptance in microbial-derived products, Microbial Alchemy is a useful resource to explore the potential of microbial metabolic and transformative abilities.- Provides a comprehensive understanding of microbial alchemy, the metabolic process of direct biogenesis or microbial influenced genesis of materials, and their application in diverse fields- Delves into the underlying chemistry of chemical properties of microbial metabolism and the process to develop them into an array of sustainable microbial products- Offers insights into the upstream steps like screening and isolation of industrial microorganisms to downstream processing for product purification and quality enhancement
