About this book

Leading experts in enzyme manipulation describe in detail their cutting-edge techniques for the screening, evolution, production, immobilization, and application of enzymes. These readily reproducible methods can be used to improve enzyme function by directed evolution, to covalently immobilize enzymes, to microencapsulate enzymes and cells, and to manufacture enzymes for human health, nutrition, and environmental protection. Overview chapters on microorganisms as a source of metabolic and enzymatic diversity, and on the fast-moving field of enzyme biosensors are presented. Microbial Enzymes and Biotransformations offers laboratory and industrial scientists a wealth of proven enzymatic protocols that show clearly how to go from laboratory results to successful industrial applications.

Reviews

The first two chapters alone are worth reading to appreciate the range of microbes and their applications in industry. Thereafter, each chapter deals with a particular topic and presents an introduction followed by an accurate set of methods, which are well set out and easy for the specialist to follow. However, this book would be a good addition to a library, although I suspect its comprehensive coverage of the subject will make it too general for personal purchase. -Robert D. Possee, CEH-Oxford
