The book " L - glutaminase production by marine fungi, authored by Dr. Sabu Abdulhameed and Prof. (Dr.) M Chandrasekaran is an authentic record on the bioprocess design and development for the production of the therapeutically and industrially important biocatalyst, L - Glutaminase. The book narrates various aspects of bioprocess development including Submerged fermentation, Solid state fermentation and Immobilization. Utilization of cheap agro-residues for the production of this important enzyme adds quality to the work. Any technology development for the future should prove itself as...

Biodiversity and conservation, food security, gene banks and repositories, laws governing biodiversity, bioprospecting, bioresources in traditional medicine and biodiversity mining are some of the important topics covered in the book.

This book is a compilation of detailed articles on various products and services that can be derived from bioresources through bioprocess. This unique book is a valuable source of information for biotechnologists and bioprocess experts as well as academics and researchers who are actively involved in product and process development.

This book gives insight into several aspects of the microbiology, biotechnology, and ecosystem sustainability of special and under-explored regions, that captivate human beings by their natural richness, their extensive biodiversity, the extraordinary forms of adaptation of the living beings that they inhabit, and even that keep living secrets as is the very origin of life. The chapters emphasize all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis, and conservation, and its controlled rational use by humankind. Also, the book is elaborated from a wide and multidisciplinary point of...
