Infos

This book highlights current trends and developments in the area of
engineering strains. The book details the current and future tools
used in the production of bulk chemicals and biofuels from
renewable biomass using green technologies. Complex phenotypes are
traits in a microbe that requires multiple genetic changes to be
modulated simultaneously in the microorganism's DNA. Knowing
what those genetic changes are for a given trait and how to make
those changes in the most efficient way forms the motivation behind
writing this book. This book explains the newer tools to develop
and enable engineered strains at time scales much faster that the
natural 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 stop
platform of reference for practicing researchers in the field of
industrial biotechnology. This book also explains that the
commercial success of a process that uses microbial catalysts over
platforms that use chemical catalysts and fossil fuels depends on
the time it takes to engineer these microbes to perform the desired
reaction under harsh manufacturing conditions and at rates that
meets the criteria for economic feasibility.
