Beskrivning

This updated and extended second edition provides a comprehensive overview on biotechnological applications of unicellular and multicellular fungi in a variety of industrial settings. Each chapter is dedicated to applications and potential beneficial use of particular strains of yeasts and filamentous fungi and their produced biomolecules, ranging from glycerol to carotenoids. This new edition further includes a brand-new chapter on lactic acid production in yeast.Targeted genetic and metabolic engineering of fungi allows production of native and transgenic enzymes and proteins in industrial scales. Those most prominently find application in biorefineries for the production of value-added chemicals and biofuels, in the pharmaceutical industry as well as in biomedicine. This volume addresses researchers from both academia and industry, and graduate students working in microbial biotechnology.

Mer om författaren

Andriy Sibirny graduated from Lviv National University, Ukraine, defended PhD thesis in Kyiv and Dr.Sc. thesis in Leningrad (Petersburg) in 1986. He works in the Institute of Cell Biology, NAS of Ukraine, Lviv, being Director and Head of the Department of Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology. Simultaneously, he works as full professor at Institute of Biotechnology, University of Rzeszow, Poland. He was the Chair of International Commission on Yeasts (2008-2012), is FEMS Director for education and public engagements (since 2017) and the member of European Academy of Microbiology (since 2017). A. Sibirny works in the fields of cell biology and biotechnology of non-conventional yeasts. He studies selective peroxisome and cytosolic enzyme autophagic degradation. In the field of yeast biotechnology, he studies high-temperature alcoholic fermentation of lignocellulosic sugars and biosynthesis of riboflavin, other flavins and lactic acid.
