This volume reviews the current metabolic engineering tools and
technologies from a practical point of view, and guides
researchers as they overcome challenges at various stages of
organism and bioprocess development. Microbes have been
engineered to produce a variety of industrial products such as
fuels, basic chemicals, fine chemicals, nutritional
supplements, and pharmaceutical intermediates, and new tools
such as gene synthesis, advanced cloning techniques, ‘omics’
analysis, and mathematical modeling have greatly accelerated
the pace of innovation in the field. Written by leading experts
in the field from both academia and industry, key topics
include synthetic biology, pathway engineering, metabolic flux
manipulation, adaptive evolution, and fermentation process
scale-up. It is suitable for non-specialists, and is a valuable
resource for anyone embarking on the exciting path to
harnessing the metabolic potential of microorganisms.
