Applications of Plant Metabolic Engineering
Written by leading international experts in the field of plant metabolic engineering, this book discusses, mainly, applications of plant metabolic engineering. Metabolic engineering, which is part of second generation biotechnology, has made several contributions at basic level as well as at conceptualising products ever since its emergence in the early 1980s. Applications resulting from metabolic engineering are expected to play a very important role in future for plant breeding, e.g. for improved resistance or improved traits concerning health promoting constituents, and production of fine chemicals such as medicines, flavors and fragrances.
Amino acid biosynthesis : Pathways, regulation and metabolic engineering
Amino Acids Biosynthesis presents the current knowledge of fundamental as well as applied microbiology of amino acids. Topics discussed are the amino acid biosynthetic pathways, their genetic and biochemical regulation, transport of amino acids and genomics of producing microorganisms. The characterization of the control mechanisms of amino acid biosynthesis has revealed insights into principles of genetic and biochemical regulation, such as transcriptional regulators and a new class of regulatory elements, the riboswitch. The volume further deals with the metabolic engineering of microorganisms for the biotechnological production of amino acids for use as pharmaceuticals and, particularly, as food and feed additives.
Biotechnology for the Future
One area that has attracted much attention is the use of cell factories for the production of a wide range of chemicals. This area illustrates very well the definition of biochemical engineering , and it has therefore been chosen as the focus of this volume. The use of cell factories for production of chemicals dates back to the production of penicillin, ethanol, acetone–butanol, glycerol and further to enzymes and other antibiotics. All these products were traditionally produced by cell factories that naturally produce these compounds. With the introduction of genetic engineering it has,This volume therefore contains chapters on concepts of metabolic engineering on detailed modeling of cellular systems
