Knowledge in microbiology is growing exponentially through the  determination of genomic sequences of hundreds of microorganisms and the  invention of new technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, and  proteomics, to deal with this avalanche of information. These genomic data  are now exploited in thousands of applications, ranging from those in  medicine, agriculture, organic chemistry, public health, biomass  conversion, to biomining. Microbial Biotechnology. Fundamentals of Applied  Microbiology focuses on uses of major societal importance, enabling an  in-depth analysis of these critically important applications. Some, such  as wastewater treatment, have changed only modestly over time, others,  such as directed molecular evolution, or 'green' chemistry, are as current  as today's headlines. This fully revised second edition provides an  exciting interdisciplinary journey through the rapidly changing landscape  of discovery in microbial biotechnology. An ideal text for courses in  applied microbiology and biotechnology courses, this book will also serve  as an invaluable overview of recent advances in this field for  professional life scientists and for the diverse community of other  professionals with interests in biotechnology.
