Features: This book provides an introduction to biocatalysis and biodegradation technologies, which have extensive applications in pharmaceuticals, the environment, and the development of new biochemical products. Based on disciplines such as biology, biochemistry, and chemistry, it compiles materials on the emergence and development of both biodegradation and biocatalysis, integrating knowledge of molecular microbiology throughout. The book simplifies complex microbial metabolic systems, allowing readers to first understand their components before exploring how they combine to function as a whole. The transition from traditional microbial chemistry to emerging fields is a key focus of this book, including new areas such as structural and functional genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and metabolic networks. Additionally, research findings and predictions for future development are woven throughout the chapters. With its unique content and technical value, this book serves as an invaluable teaching and reference resource for students and researchers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical synthesis, environmental science, and related industries.
