Titelbeschreibung

<div>This book provides useful information on <b>microbial physiology and metabolism. </b>The<b> </b>key aspects covered are prokaryotic diversity, growth physiology, basic metabolic pathways and their regulation, metabolic diversity with details of various unique pathways. Another focus area is stress physiology with details on varying environmental stresses, signal transduction, adaptation and survival. For instructional purposes, the book provides case studies, interesting facts, techniques etc. which help in showcasing the inter-disciplinary nature and bridge the gap between various aspects of applied microbiology.</div>

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Sonderbeitrag

Microbial metabolic pathways have been dealt with in a simplified, easy to understand manner to maximally benefit the beginners (under-graduates and graduates) who do not have background of this domain. Their interest is further stimulated by some interesting facts, know-hows etc Every chapter has been written in a manner to enable post-graduate students understand how the basic subjects of physiology and metabolism integrate with the disciplines such as environmental microbiology, product biotechnology, pathogenesis, etc Researchers who wish to enter the field of metabolic engineering or pathogenesis will find this book interesting as selected case studies and techniques too have been incorporated, which will help them in understanding in a nutshell the basics of the subjects and the approach to strain development and drug targeting
