The Metabolic Pathway Engineering Handbook: Fundamentals

By D. Smolke Christina

The Metabolic Pathway Engineering Handbook: Fundamentals provides an overview of metabolic pathway engineering with a look towards the future. It discusses cellular metabolism, including transport processes inside the cell and energy generating reactions, as well as rare metabolic conversions. This volume also explores balances and reaction models, the regulation of metabolic pathways, and genome scale and multiscale modeling tools. In addition, it covers the development of appropriate hosts for metabolic engineering, including the use of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces, yeast, filamentous fungi, and mammalian cells using cell culture.
