Features: This book discusses the species and morphology of commonly used industrial microorganisms from the perspective of the development and application of industrial microbial resources. It covers the screening of industrial microbial resources and their metabolically produced target products, the growth of industrial microorganisms, product formation, and nutrition, the pure culture and preservation of microorganisms, as well as the biosynthetic pathways of primary and secondary metabolism. The book also focuses on industrial microbial genetics and metabolic regulation, and describes mutation breeding, genetic recombination breeding, and the batch and continuous culture of microbial cells in terms of technological applications. It also introduces microbial and genetic patent protection. The book emphasizes the research progress related to the discovery and improvement of microbial strains, metabolic regulation of strains, and optimization of fermentation conditions, particularly those aimed at increasing product varieties, improving yields, and refining production processes. It also includes an introduction to the safety testing of genetically modified foods. This book can serve as a teaching and reference material for undergraduate and graduate students in biological engineering, fermentation engineering, biopharmaceuticals, biochemical engineering, biotechnology, food engineering, and applied microbiology. It can also be a valuable reference for technicians and researchers in relevant enterprises and research institutions.
