Features: This book is a part of the "Modern Microbial Technology Series." Microbial technology refers to the direct or indirect use of microorganisms, their functions, components, or their metabolites to process and produce products or provide services for society. Microbial technology offers new solutions for resource and environmental issues, and the development prospects of the microbial technology industry will be very broad. The book first discusses microbial resource development and strain selection technology, then provides a detailed introduction to the nutritional requirements, metabolic characteristics, and regulatory mechanisms of microorganisms during their growth. It subsequently explains how to achieve the goals of process, cultivation, and automatic control optimization, as well as process model construction, based on the characteristics of microbial metabolic processes in practical microbial process experiments. Finally, it introduces the important applications and development of microbial metabolic engineering, as well as a detailed elaboration on the techno-economic analysis and environmental impact of microbial processes. While ensuring a complete system, the book places greater emphasis on explaining the methods and key points of technology application, aiming to provide readers with more practical insights and techniques. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in microbial product development and production, microbial process research, as well as those in industrial fields such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, and fermentation. It can also serve as a teaching reference for students and teachers of microbial and biotechnology-related life science disciplines at colleges and universities.
