Lipid Modification by Enzymes and Engineered Microbes
About this book
Lipid Modification by Enzymes and Engineered Microbes covers the state-of-the art use of enzymes as natural biocatalysts to modify oils, also presenting how microorganisms, such as yeast, can be designed. In the past ten years, the field has made enormous progress, not only with respect to the tools developed for the development of designer enzymes, but also in the metabolic engineering of microbes, the discovery of novel enzyme activities, and in reaction engineering/process development. For the first time, these advances are covered in a single-volume that is edited by leading enzymatic scientist Uwe Borchscheuer and authored by an international team of experts.- Identifies how, and when, to use enzymes and microbes for lipid modification- Provides enzymatic, microbial and metabolic techniques for lipid modification- Covers lipases, acyltransferases, phospholipases, lipoxygenases, monooxygenases, isomerases and sophorolipids- Includes lipid modification for use in food, biofuels, oleochemicals and polymer precursors
