This book comprehensively reviews the diverse potential of microbial enzymes with therapeutic applications, covering their production, purification, and utilization. It examines their roles in combating various diseases, including inflammation, bacterial infections, cardiovascular conditions, and thrombotic disorders. The book highlights their pharmaceutical applications in drug formulation and bioactive compound production, with the aim of enhancing drug bioavailability, stability, and efficacy. Furthermore, the book explores the potential of microbial fibrinolytic enzymes to revolutionize treatments for thrombotic disorders. It also outlines the applications of microbial enzymes in targeting cancer cells, emphasizing their pivotal role in innovative treatment modalities. Additionally, the book presents the therapeutic applications of microbial lipases, from their use in lipid-lowering medications to the creation of lipase-based pharmaceuticals.The chapters discuss the potential of microbial uricases in managing uric-acid-related disorders and the contribution of microbial enzymes in enhancing digestion and alleviating digestive disorders. Finally, the book delves into the vital role of regulatory authorities and intellectual property rights (IPR) in the commercialization of therapeutic microbial enzymes. As such, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and students of microbiology, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sciences.Key Features:Reviews the therapeutic potential of microbial enzymes and their production and purificationExamines the roles of microbial enzymes in combating a wide range of diseases, including inflammation, bacterial infections, cardiovascular conditions, and thrombotic disordersHighlights the pharmaceutical applications of microbial enzymes, focusing on drug formulation and the production of bioactive compounds to enhance drug bioavailability, stability, and efficacyExplores the therapeutic applications of microbial lipases, from lipid-lowering medications to the creation of lipase-based pharmaceuticalsPresents the vital role of regulatory authorities and intellectual property rights (IPR) in the commercialization of therapeutic microbial enzymes

This book is a compilation of articles on various aspects of bioresources and the processes employed for its judicious utilization. Biodiversity and conservation, food security, gene banks and repositories, laws governing biodiversity, bioprospecting, bioresources in traditional medicine and biodiversity mining are some of the important topics covered in the book.  The unique contents of the book make it an important source of information for conservation scientists, academics, activists and to those who are actively involved in product oriented research from bioresources.

This book is a compilation of detailed articles on various products and services that can be derived from bioresources through bioprocess. It offers in-depth discussions and case studies on commercially and therapeutically important enzymes, antimicrobials, anti-cancer molecules and anti-inflammatory substances. It also includes a separate section on emerging trends in bioactive substances research.  This unique book is a valuable source of information for biotechnologists and bioprocess experts as well as academics and researchers who are actively involved in product and process development.

This book gives insight into several aspects of the microbiology, biotechnology, and ecosystem sustainability of special and under-explored regions, that captivate human beings by their natural richness, their extensive biodiversity, the extraordinary forms of adaptation of the living beings that they inhabit, and even that keep living secrets as is the very origin of life. The chapters emphasize all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis, and conservation, and its controlled rational use by humankind. Also, the book is elaborated from a wide and multidisciplinary point of view. It presents reviews, research papers, comments, and research notes on biodiversity, ethnobiology, geoscience, chemistry, biological conservation, biotechnology, and ecosystem sustainability Two hotspots are the reference for this enriching book that describes details of extraordinary areas of the planet, from Cuatrociénegas, Coahuila (Mexico) to the Southern WesternGhats (India). The book will contribute to dealing with the practicalities of conservation management, economic, social, and political issues. It provides a forum for examining conflicts between sustainable development and human dependence on biodiversity in agriculture, environmental management, and biotechnology, and encourages contributions from developing countries to promote broad global perspectives on matters of biodiversity and conservation.

This book provides an overview of the drug discovery process from natural sources such as plants and microbes. While technological advances have streamlined the drug discovery process, enhancing the throughput and success rates, the structural features of natural products remain the primary reference for small-molecule drug discovery.Focusing on the drug targets blocked/altered by natural/nature-inspired molecules, it covers how potential drug leads are screened and identified using appropriate assay systems, and the current status of drugs identified using such approaches. State-of-the-art approaches in target identification, assay development, and lead identification have also been discussed in detail. Other topics included are targets and leads in inflammation, cancer, reproductive medicine, cardiovascular and neuromuscular ailments, and infectious diseases as well as the challenges in translating drug leads into clinically viable drugs.This volume serves as a handbook for researchers in phytochemistry and drug discovery, and as a reference for researchers and students of applied biology.
