Features: This book consists of 3 parts and 22 chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction, which covers the basic concepts, main content, and development trends of biocatalysis. Part I is the foundational section, including Chapters 2 to 12, which introduce the microbiological basis of biocatalysis, the fundamentals of applied enzymology, the fundamentals of chiral chemistry, biorganic chemistry and biocatalysis, the sources and screening of biocatalysts, the modification and engineering of biocatalysts, the fermentation production of biocatalysts, the purification and characterization of enzymes, non-aqueous-phase biocatalysis, immobilized biocatalysts and biocatalytic reactors, emphasizing the fundamental knowledge and theories of biocatalysis. Part II is the applied section, including Chapters 13 to 22, which take the examples of enzymatic preparation of L-amino acids, enzymatic preparation of D-amino acids, the production of L-malic acid and L(+)-tartaric acid using immobilized cell methods, the biocatalytic preparation of chiral 2-arylpropionic acids, enzymatic production of L-carnitine, microbial enzymatic resolution for the preparation of D-pantothenate esters, enzymatic production of optically active pyrethroids, the non-aqueous-phase catalytic production of short-chain fatty acid esters by lipases, enzymatic resolution of chiral epoxides and vicinal diols, and the production of vanillin, among others, to elaborate on the process and application of biocatalytic process technology. The book has a certain theoretical depth, combines process examples of typical biocatalytic products, and introduces many cutting-edge topics in biocatalysis. It is primarily intended as a textbook or reference material for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in biological engineering, fine chemical engineering, and related disciplines. It can also be used as a reference for scientists, engineers, and production personnel in industries such as bi, pharmaceuticals, food, feed, fermentation, and other related biotechnology fields.
