Some vitamins and other growth factors behave as antioxidants, while some can be considered as biopigments. As their chemical synthesis is laborious, their biotechnology-based  synthesis and production via microbial fermentation has gained substantial interest within the last decades. Recent progress in microbial genetics and in metabolic engineering and implementation of innovative bioprocess technology  has led to a biotechnology-based industrial production of many vitamins and related compounds.  Divided into three sections, this volume covers: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1. water-soluble vitamins   \u003cbr\u003e 2. fat-soluble vitamin compounds and \u003cbr\u003e 3. other growth factors, biopigments, and antioxidants.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e They are all reviewed systematically: from natural occurrence and assays, via biosynthesis, strain  development, to industrially-employed biotechnological syntheses and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wiley-VCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016-04-25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783527337347\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 578\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley-VCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44378496860300,"sku":"9783527337347","price":231.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783527337347.jpg?v=1768917833","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783527337347","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
