Microbial production: From genome design to cell surface engineering affords a comprehensive review of novel technology and approaches being implemented for manufacturing microorganisms, written by specialists in both academia and industry.This book is divided into three sections: the first includes technology for improvement of fermentation strains and many supporting technologies and information; the second examines novel technology useful for analysis of cell activities, analyzing gene function, and designing genomes of producer strains; and finally, a discussion of the practical...

This presentation of breeding fermentation strains of microbes has applications in a range of industrial contexts. Leading researchers describe their cutting-edge use of 'omics' information and explain the concept of designing a fermentation-strain genome.
