Features: This book takes the regulation of industrial fermentation processes as its main thread, applying knowledge of microbial physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to explain metabolic regulation and fermentation patterns. It provides an in-depth discussion of microbial growth, basic metabolism, metabolic regulation, and secondary metabolite synthesis, as well as a comprehensive introduction to process control and optimization, parameter detection, and online monitoring. In terms of content, it strives to achieve a balance between theory and practice, integrating systematic fundamental theories while reflecting the latest advancements in research and industrial applications. The book comprehensively collects and organizes the views and experiences of most scholars and experts from around the world in the fields of metabolic regulation and fermentation control. The material is relatively novel and reflects the latest level of fermentation regulation studies. After revision, the following adjustments were made:
- Key concepts in all chapters were marked in different fonts (italic).
- All chapters were streamlined.
- Relevant review questions were added to all chapters.
- Since Chapters 1 and 2 are primarily theoretical foundations, some content was condensed.
- Chapters 3, 4, and 5 were further condensed, with a significant amount of literature from 2001–2004 added.
- Chapter 6 was proofread by relevant automation professionals to enhance professionalism and readability.
This book is suitable as a professional textbook for fermentation regulation studies, bioprocess engineering, industrial microbiology, industrial biochemistry, fermentation engineering, microbial pharmaceuticals, and antibiotic technology. It can also serve as a reference for students in medicine, light industry, agriculture, forestry, and teacher training programs. Additionally, it is a valuable resource for researchers and production personnel working in biotechnology, biochemical engineering, and industrial fermentation for further study and reference.
