| Description: |
Marine microbial biotechnology comes of age. This unique reference describes commercially important compounds produced by marine microorganisms with applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and veterinary fields. |
| Synopsis: |
Deliberately breaking with the classical biology-centered description of marine organisms and their products, this reference emphasizes microbial technology over basic biology, setting it apart from its predecessors. As such, it systematically covers the technology behind high-value compounds for use as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals or cosmetics, from prospecting to production issues. Following a definition of the field, the book goes on to address all industrially important aspects of marine microbial biotechnology. The first main part contains a description of the major production organisms, from archaebacteria to cyanobacteria to algae and symbionts, including their genetic engineering. The remaining four parts look at commercially important compounds produced by these microorganisms together with their applications. Throughout, the emphasis is on technological considerations, and the future potential of these organisms or compound classes is discussed A valuable and forward-looking resource for innovative biotechnologists in industry as well as in academia. |
