Whole Cell Biocatalysis, a volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series, offers a detailed overview of the process of biocatalysis using whole cells as an alternative to enzyme biocatalysis. The book examines the potential applications and advantages of whole cell biocatalysis, including its use in the production of fine chemicals, renewable energy, and drug discovery and development. Whole cell biocatalysis for large scale production and non-conventional media are also covered. In addition, the latest methods and techniques are investigated, including cell immobilization, permeabilization, synthetic biology, computational metabolic engineering, and molecular genetics.
This book provides a comprehensive summary on whole cell biocatalysis and the latest developments in this emerging field. It is an invaluable reference for researchers working across biochemistry, enzymology, biotechnology, and related fields.
