Beschreibung
This book highlights current trends and developments in the area ofengineering strains. The book details the current and future toolsused in the production of bulk chemicals and biofuels fromrenewable biomass using green technologies. Complex phenotypes aretraits in a microbe that requires multiple genetic changes to bemodulated simultaneously in the microorganism's DNA. Knowingwhat those genetic changes are for a given trait and how to makethose changes in the most efficient way forms the motivation behindwriting this book. This book explains the newer tools to developand enable engineered strains at time scales much faster that thenatural evolution process so that we can increase a cells'production of a certain substance, increase process productivity,and extend metabolic capability. This book provides a one stopplatform of reference for practicing researchers in the field ofindustrial biotechnology. This book also explains that thecommercial success of a process that uses microbial catalysts overplatforms that use chemical catalysts and fossil fuels depends onthe time it takes to engineer these microbes to perform the desiredreaction under harsh manufacturing conditions and at rates thatmeets the criteria for economic feasibility.
