- Metabolic engineering concepts and a historical perspective on their development
- The different modes of analysis, including flux balance analysis and quantitative flux analysis
- An illuminating and complete discussion of the thermodynamics of metabolic pathways
- The Genome architecture of E. coli, as well as genome editing of both bacteria and eukarya
- An in-depth treatment of the application of metabolic engineering techniques to organisms including corynebacterial, bacillus, and pseudomonas, and more
Perfect for students of biotechnology, bioengineers, and biotechnologists, Metabolic Engineering: Concepts and Applications also has a place on the bookshelves of research institutes, biotechnological institutes and industry labs, and university libraries. It’s comprehensive treatment of all relevant metabolic engineering concepts, models, and applications will be of use to practicing biotechnologists and bioengineers who wish to solidify their understanding of the field.
