OverviewBiotransformation of endobiotics and xenobiotics essentially deals with modification of organic molecules by microbes ultimately to furnish useful drug intermediates and water soluble conjugates.The mechanism underlying the transformation mostly involves insertion of oxygen into the parent molecule catalysed by cyp450 monooxygenase i.e.conversion of hydrophobic to hydrophilic.The balance between oxidative detoxification and metabolic activation by this enzyme is critically important.Biotransformation got wide application in steroid and beta-lactams. Microbial management of environmental pollution is another area which attracts equal attention. Although biotransformation was initiated with liver microsomes but maximum feed back was received from procaryotes. The microbial biotechnology, considered as a green technology, is being equally used in food, health and environment sector.Science of metagenomics might be a boost in microbial biotechnology Full Product DetailsAuthor: Timir SamantaPublisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Imprint: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.40cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.104kg ISBN: 9783838312316ISBN 10: 3838312317 Pages: 64 Publication Date: 27 May 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
