Biotechnology of Amino Acid Production
Description:... During the past few decades, microbiologists and biochemists have introduced molecular biology and genetic engineering to the field of applied and industrial microbiology. Amino acid fermentation is the practical result of biotechnology which integrates microbiology, biochemistry and chemical engineering. This volume discusses the general aspects of amino acid fermentation fundamental to industrial use. The microorganisms and their biosynthetic pathways and related enzymes are described in detail in order to clarify the regulatory mechanism of the microbial metabolism. In particular, the various amino acids are treated separately in individual chapters, including descriptions of the development of biochemical processes. The book covers general and specific aspects of microbiology research, past, present and future.
