Book Synopsis Systems Metabolic Engineering by : Christoph Wittmann

Download or read book Systems Metabolic Engineering written by Christoph Wittmann. This book was released on 2012-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systems Metabolic Engineering is changing the way microbial cell factories are designed and optimized for industrial production. Integrating systems biology and biotechnology with new concepts from synthetic biology enables the global analysis and engineering of microorganisms and bioprocesses at super efficiency and versatility otherwise not accessible. Without doubt, systems metabolic engineering is a major driver towards bio-based production of chemicals, materials and fuels from renewables and thus one of the core technologies of global green growth. In this book, Christoph Wittmann and Sang-Yup Lee have assembled the world leaders on systems metabolic engineering and cover the full story – from genomes and networks via discovery and design to industrial implementation practises. This book is a comprehensive resource for students and researchers from academia and industry interested in systems metabolic engineering. It provides us with the fundaments to targeted engineering of microbial cells for sustainable bio-production and stimulates those who are interested to enter this exiting research field.

Book Synopsis Metabolic Engineering of Plant Secondary Metabolism by : R. Verpoorte

Download or read book Metabolic Engineering of Plant Secondary Metabolism written by R. Verpoorte. This book was released on 2013-03-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant secondary metabolism is an economically important source of fine chemicals, such as drugs, insecticides, dyes, flavours, and fragrances. Moreover, important traits of plants such as taste, flavour, smell, colour, or resistance against pests and diseases are also related to secondary metabolites. The genetic modification of plants is feasible nowadays. What does the possibility of engineering plant secondary metabolite pathways mean? In this book, firstly a general introduction is given on plant secondary metabolism, followed by an overview of the possible approaches that could be used to alter secondary metabolite pathways. In a series of chapters from various authorities in the field, an overview is given of the state of the art for important groups of secondary metabolites. No books have been published on this topic so far. This book will thus be a unique source of information for all those involved with plants as chemical factories of fine chemicals and those involved with the quality of food and ornamental plants. It will be useful in teaching graduate courses in the field of metabolic engineering in plants.

Book Synopsis The Future of Metabolic Engineering by : Abhishek Sharma

Download or read book The Future of Metabolic Engineering written by Abhishek Sharma. This book was released on 2021-12-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The last two decades of scientific research have progressed to the point where metabolic engineering, which involves the modifying of metabolic pathways of animals, plants, and bacterial cells at biochemical and molecular levels, is feasible. Conceptually, metabolic engineering takes into account the identification of major blocks or control points in a metabolic pathway at the molecular level followed by removal of these limitations with the help of various cellular engineering interventions. Understanding the metabolic pathways requires appropriate experiment setup, molecular biology and biochemistry methods, computational modelling, data analysis, and interpretation to allow the researchers to manipulate them as per their needs. This book comprises a total of 12 chapters from multiple contributors of different countries around the world, including Brazil, Egypt, India, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. This book provides deep insight into the past, present, and future of metabolic engineering in the animal, microbial, and plant system, communicating interdisciplinary research and relevant results in biochemistry, molecular biology, applied microbiology, cellular physiology, cellular nutrition in health and disease, and biochemical engineering"--
