Industrial Microbiology By A H Patel: How Microbes Transform Industries and the Environment



Industrial Microbiology, Second Edition, provides the reader with grounding in both the fundamental principles of microbial physiology and various traditional and modern applications of micro-organisms to industrial processes, Most of these have been made possible (or enhanced) by recent developments in genetic engineering.


The book discusses key aspects of microbial physiology, exploring the versatility of micro-organisms, their diverse metabolic activities and products. lt divulges the role of industrial micro-organisms, and the technology required, in large-scale cultivation and isolation of

fermentation products, and in pollution control. lt investigates a wide range of established and novel industrial fermentation processes and microbial products including enzymes, foods, beverages, chemical feed stocks, fuels, biof-fertilizers and pharmaceuticals.


The field of industrial microbiology involves a thorough knowledge of the microbial physiology behind the processes in the large-scale, profit-oriented production of microbe-related goods which are the subject of the field.


Of major economic, environmental and social importance, industrial microbiology involves the utilization of microorganisms in the production of a wide range of products, including enzymes, foods, beverages, chemical feedstocks, fuels and pharmaceuticals, and clean technologies employed for waste treatment and pollution control.


Aimed at undergraduates studying the applied aspects of biology, particularly those on biotechnology and microbiology courses and students of food science and biochemical engineering, this text provides a wide-ranging introduction to the field of industrial microbiology. The content is divided into three sections:


Written by experienced lecturers with industrial backgrounds, Industrial Microbiology provides the reader with groundwork in both the fundamental principles of microbial biology and the various traditional and novel applications of microorganisms to industrial processes, many of which have been made possible or enhanced by recent developments in genetic engineering technology.


It is written as an introductory text to provide the college junior or senior students or the industrial technicians needing to gain an insight into this area, with a working knowledge of the theory and practice of various aspects of industrial microbiology.


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.


This edition provides various aspects of biotechnology and microbiology written in a simple and lucid style to help the reader grasp the information quickly and easily. The book contains 22 chapters and each chapter presents updated material sufficient to meet the students expectations from a basic textbook. Chapters 14, 16, 18, and 20 have been updated including some new additional material.


Two new chapters, 21 and 22, have been added that deal with the microbial pesticides and biofertilisers, respectively. All the previous chapters have been revised and updated. An updated index has been included to give more importance to the book. This edition of the book will prove to be very useful reading material for all students, teachers, professionals, researchers, industrialists, scientists involved in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, environmental science, microbiology, biotechnology and life science.


This textbook is an essential reading for all students, teachers, professionals, researchers and industrialists involved in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, environmental science, microbiology, biotechnology and life sciences. The reference book also caters to the requirement of the syllabus prescribed by various Indian universities for undergraduates and postgraduates pursuing these courses.
