Biotechnology of Terpenoid Production from Microbial Cell Factories is a unique reference to help researchers, scientists and scholars explore available strategies involved in the production of terpenoid-based, value-added compounds from GRAS status (Generally Recognized as Safe by FDA) microbes to address the associated challenges for the industry. The book covers the most up-to-date information about microbial terpenoid production, including culture condition modulation for the improved and high-specificity production of terpenoid and their in-situ extraction. Each class of terpenoid is explained in detail, including their nutritional and pharmaceutical information and their molecular aspects.
