Lactic Acid Bacteria: Unlocking the Potential of Cell Factories
Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering delve into the latest advancements in the metabolic engineering and synthetic biology of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), highlighting their remarkable capabilities in producing biologically active biomolecules. This comprehensive book explores the potential of LAB as cell factories, focusing on the production of enzymes, organic acids, bacteriocins, bioactive peptides, and other valuable compounds.
The book delves into the realm of synthetic biology, employing cutting-edge techniques to manipulate LAB's metabolic pathways and optimize their productivity. It unravels the secrets of recombinant protein production, enabling the creation of proteins with desired properties for various applications. Moreover, it sheds light on the production of biosurfactants, which are natural surfactants with diverse applications in industries such as agriculture, medicine, and environmental remediation.
Individual chapters are dedicated to the production of biosurfactants and their diverse applications, including their use in oil and gas exploration, wastewater treatment, and agriculture. The book also explores the bioremediation of heavy metals by LAB from aquatic environments, highlighting their potential as eco-friendly cleanup agents.
Two critical chapters delve into genome editing of LAB, exploring the opportunities it presents in the fields of food, feed, and pharmaceuticals. The book also presents a synthetic biology approach for plasmid DNA and recombinant protein production, providing valuable insights into the latest techniques and methodologies in this field.
With its extensive coverage and interdisciplinary approach, this book serves as a valuable resource for professionals working in biology, biotechnology, biological engineering, chemical engineering, microbiology, food science and technology, genetics, and synthetic biology. It provides a comprehensive understanding of LAB's potential as cell factories and highlights the exciting opportunities that lie ahead in the field of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering.
