Elsevier Whole Cell Biocatalysis: Fundamentals and Applications

Whole Cell Biocatalysis is a comprehensive volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series that explores biocatalysis using whole cells as a practical alternative to traditional enzyme biocatalysis. This detailed guide examines the fundamental principles and real-world applications of whole cell biocatalysis across multiple industries, including fine chemical production, renewable energy generation, and pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. The book addresses both laboratory-scale techniques and large-scale production methods, while covering non-conventional media systems that expand biocatalytic possibilities. Readers will discover modern approaches such as cell immobilisation and related methodologies that optimise whole cell biocatalytic performance. Whether you are a biochemistry researcher, biotechnology professional, or industrial scientist, this resource provides essential knowledge for implementing whole cell biocatalysis in your work.
