Features: "This is a systematic treatise on important microbial metabolites. It first introduces some significant fermentation products that have emerged in China and abroad in the past decade. Then, based on a thorough analysis of advanced fermentation engineering theories and technologies, it combines research examples to provide a detailed discussion on the research progress, fermentation production technologies, and methods for various important metabolites produced by microorganisms. In the selection of metabolites, emphasis is placed on their representativeness, as they reflect an important type and have become research hotspots in recent years, are already biotechnologically produced industrially, or are on the verge of major breakthroughs. When introducing a specific product, the systematic nature of the discussion is emphasized. For example, for Coenzyme Q10, it first outlines its properties, synthesis methods, and applications, then elaborates on the relevant fermentation production technologies, and finally highlights the metabolic network model and metabolic flux analysis. What is valuable is that a significant amount of the research data in the book are first-hand research materials from the authors, which will undoubtedly play a great reference and inspirational role for research peers engaging in related work. This book can serve as a reference for relevant courses in university biological engineering, fermentation engineering, and biotechnology programs, and can also be used by technical personnel in fermentation engineering and biochemical engineering product production enterprises for learning and reference."
