Description

Genetic and Genome-Wide Microbial Insights: Bioenergy: Microbial Genomics (Volume 3) delves into the cutting-edge developments in the field of metagenomics, encompassing both metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics. This comprehensive resource highlights the significant potential of metagenomics in screening previously uncultivated microbial species. It underscores the pivotal role of these advanced genomic techniques in accessing elusive microorganisms, thereby revolutionizing the production of biofuels. This book emphasizes the practicality of these methods, aiming to make biofuel production more economically feasible and efficient. "Genetic and Genome-Wide Microbial Insights: Bioenergy" offers both a foundational overview and the most recent advancements in microbial genomics, computational genomics, and enzyme engineering. It details the process of upscaling and bio-prospecting microbial strains, specifically tailored for biofuel production, providing a comprehensive guide that bridges basic concepts with cutting-edge research. This book covers a range of topics, including advanced microbial fuel production techniques, Sustainable bioenergy (genomics and biofuel development) and microbial engineering. The comprehensive chapters in this book will appeal to readers from diverse backgrounds in biology, life sciences, agriculture, environmental engineering, genome engineering, and even medicine.

Key features

  • Explores the integration of metagenomics and enzyme engineering in the upscaling of biofuel production
