책소개

Focusing on current and future uses of microbes as production organisms, this practice-oriented textbook complements traditional texts on microbiology and biotechnology. The editors have brought together leading researchers and professionals from the entire field of industrial microbiology and together they adopt a modern approach to a well-known subject. Following a brief introduction to the technology of microbial processes, the twelve most important application areas for microbial technology are described, from crude bulk chemicals to such highly refined biomolecules as enzymes and antibodies, to the use of microbes in the leaching of minerals and for the treatment of municipal and industrial waste. In line with their application-oriented topic, the authors focus on the "translation" of basic research into industrial processes and cite numerous successful examples. The result is a first-hand account of the state of the industry and the future potential for microbes in industrial processes. Interested students of biotechnology, bioengineering, microbiology and related disciplines will find this a highly useful and much consulted companion, while instructors can use the case studies and examples to add value to their teaching.

저자(글) David B. Wilson

David Wilson is a Professor of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology at Cornell University in Ithaca (USA). He received his B.A. from Harvard in 1961, his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Stanford Medical School in 1966, and did postdoctoral work at the Department of Biophysics at Johns Hopkins Medical School from 1966-67 before coming to Cornell as an Assistant Professor in 1967. He is a member of the American Society of Biological Chemists, the American Society of Microbiologists and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Hermann Sahm is emeritus Professor of Biotechnology at the University of Dusseldorf (Germany) and the former head of the Institute of Biotechnology 1 at the Research Center Julich. He completed his undergraduate studies in microbiology and biochemistry at the University of Gottingen and received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mirobiology from the University of Tubingen. He was President of the German Society for General and Applied Microbiology from 1989 to 1991, and he is a member of the Northrhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences since 1990. Peter Stahmann is Professor for Applied Microbiology at the Hochschule Lausitz in Senftenberg (Germany). He studied biology at the University of Kaiserslautern and obtained a Ph.D. in Biotechnology under the direction of Hermann Sahm from the University of Dussledorf in 1992. For the next 10 years he headed the research group "Production of metabolites by fungi" at the Research Center Julich, before taking up his current position at the Hochschule Lausitz. Mattheos Koffas is Professor of Biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy (USA). A gradudate from the Greek National Technical University in Athens, he obtained is Ph.D. in Biochemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research is focused on the metabolic engineering of unicellular organisms for the production of chemicals.
