Whole-cell biocatalysis is a promising and emerging field of biological science that is mostly based on advancements in biosystems engineering for the production of useful products such as chemicals, fuels, and pharmaceuticals. It is a unique platform that provides an efficient catalytic system at affordable cost and with low maintenance. Recent studies have proven that whole-cell catalysis is very useful in conducting many complex and complicated chemical reactions that could be executed with greater ease and in an eco-friendly manner in ambient conditions with zero/minimal ecological effect. This has made whole-cell biocatalysis very popular and a center of significance in the field of modern biological catalysis.
This new volume offers a comprehensive understanding of whole-cell biocatalysis, beginning with an introduction and an overview of relevant tools and techniques. It presents the basic as well as the advanced concepts of whole-cell biocatalysis, thus acting as a complete guide for the reader. It looks at the promising developments that have taken place in the past decade and discusses the application of computational tools, the use of metabolic flux systems, and the role of metabolic networks for the cell system development for whole-cell catalysis. The chapters explore whole-cell biocatalysis for the production of chemicals, of fuels, and for environmental restoration, with case studies and success stories that showcase new developments in the technology.
This volume provides a valuable presentation of whole-cell biocatalysis for graduate students, faculty, industry professionals, and others working in biochemistry and bio-systems engineering.

Notă biografică

Sudheer D. V. N. Pamidimarri, PhD, obtained his PhD from the Central Salt and Marine Chemical Research Institute-CSIR, India, in Biological Sciences. After obtaining his degree, he joined Prof. Taek Jin Kang and worked on the aspects of protein backbone cyclization and development of novel protocols for the selective purification of cyclic proteins using engineered eMyc-tag. Later, he worked at various institutions such as the Korean Institute of Energy Research, Daejeon, South Korea; Ajou University, Suwon, South Korea; Kyung Hee University, Suwon, South Korea; etc., in various positions. He started his regular faculty position in India focusing on developing novel routes of producing industrially important chemicals and biofuels utilizing waste biomass. He is presently working as an Associate Professor and Ramalingaswami Fellow at Gujarat Biotechnology University, India. His major research interests are studying and establishing novel whole-cell biocatalysis systems for biofuel and biochemical synthesis. He is a recipient of various awards and scholarships from the Indian government, such as CSIR-JRF, SRF, RA, and the prestigious Ramalingaswami re-entry fellowship, DBT-India. He is also a recipient of various research grants from governmental bodies and industries. His research focuses on metabolic flux engineering, green synthesis of fuels, and bacterial hydrogen production from various waste biomasses.
