Microbial enzymes are important because they can be used for a wide variety of industrial purposes. There is dispersed and scanty information available with respect to microbial enzymes and their industrial applications. In this edited book, leading scientists have covered the various aspects of microbial enzymes and their industrial applications. Using microbial enzymes can help expedite various manufacturing processes and contribute to sustainable development, which is a priority worldwide. Research gaps in the entrainment of microbial enzymes with their direct application in product development are a major focus of this volume. Key Features • Covers microbial enzymes with comprehensive and in-depth information • Benefits students by describing recent advancements into microbial enzymology • Provides updates regarding microbial enzymes for researchers and industrial scientists • Includes findings on the microbial actions for better life
Immobilized Enzymes for Industrial Reactors aims to guide the engineer and scientist along the path toward the industrial application of immobilized enzymes. It is necessary to identify the hazards and pitfalls that will be encountered, not only in the initial research efforts, but also during the final engineering phases of a commercial program. Each contributing factor in an immobilized enzyme system will be scrutinized by the authors in an effort to accomplish the overall objectives. This book comprises 10 chapters, with the first being an introduction to and general history of immobilized enzymes. The next chapters go on to discuss basic enzymology; controlled-pore glasses for enzyme immobilization; carriers; immobilization by adsorption and inorganic bridge formation; immobilization by covalent attachment and by entrapment; characteristics of free vs. immobilized enzymes; immobilized coenzymes; design and operation of immobilized enzyme reactors; and applications of immobilized enzymes. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of chemistry and engineering.
Leading experts in the enzymology field present herewith an overview of the use of enzymes in therapy, genetic engineering, pulp and paper, textile, detergent, food and animal feed. The book carries up to date information and presents a wider perspective scope wise in the field of enzymology. The book would be advantageous not only for Undergraduate, PG and PhD students but also to non-specialists who may acquaint themselves with this rapidly growing field. We feel extremely proud in recommending this book as ideal reading for any of the above students engaged in basic and applied research.
