Microbial Alchemy offers an interdisciplinary exploration of microorganisms, their chemical properties, and their ability to transform substances through metabolic processes and sythesize them into bioproducts of commercial value and sustainable application.
This book opens with an introduction to microbial alchemy covering cellular and molecular mechanism for alchemy production, secondary metabolites, and fermentation alchemy. It provides an analysis of the chemistry produced by microbes that influence eco-enterprising strategies and explores the bioprospecting of an array of microbial metabolic products and their applications in various fields and industries. With additional coverage on compliance, regulations, and market acceptance in microbial-derived products, Microbial Alchemy is a useful resource to explore the potential of microbial metabolic and transformative abilities.
