Reprogramming Microbial Metabolic Pathways [Hardcover]

Metabolic engineering has been developed over the past 20 years to become an important tool for the rational engineering of industrial microorganisms. This?book has a particular interest in the methods and applications of metabolic engineering to improve the production and yield of a variety of different metabolites. The overall goal is to achieve a better understanding of the metabolism in different microorganisms, and provide a rational basis to reprogram microorganisms for improved biochemical production.
