Handbook of Industrial Biocatalysis

Soliciting chapters from experts on virtually every aspect of biocatalysis, this handbook is divided into three sections based on types of substrates. The first section describes the newest biotechnology and bioprocesses for producing industrial products from hydrophobic substrates such as oils and fats. The second section covers the production of value-added products from carbohydrate substrates. The third section is dedicated to other potential industrial applications such as bioelectrocatalysis for synthesizing chemicals, fuels, and new drugs. This reference is ideal for scientists in academic, industrial, and government research institutes involved in biotechnology and other industries utilizing biocatalysis.
