Description

Role of Microbes in Industrial Products and Processes covers recent breakthroughs and highlights the major role microbes play in industrial products and processes. It mainly focuses on the bio-refinery concept where bio-energy production and wastewater treatment are done simultaneously using micro-algae. Additionally, this book describes the role of microbes involved in the production of various enzymes, organic acids, and bio-polymers. It also provides the detailed insight on modelling and simulation of bioprocess for the production of sugar alcohol, and recovery of value-added products from organic waste using microbes is also reported. Detailed insights in to the treatment of wastewater released from various industries, especially pharmaceutical wastewater, are given.
