This book covers the most comprehensive and recent advances & developments in Industrial Biotechnology. The aim of the book is to provide an authentic account of Biotechnology in industrial applications as well as to stimulate research in Industrial Biotechnology. It also highlights future needs of research on the various aspects of Industrial Biotechnology. This book would be a good source for post graduate classes as a Research-cum-Textbook. It would be very useful both from teaching and research point of view. Applied aspects are systematically covered so that students can take relevant assignments in Industrial Biotechnology. All the chapters in the book are contributed by the experts in their respective fields of research. The book is illustrated with tables and figures along with recent references. The manuscript is incomparable resource for the biotechnologists, fermentation technologists, biochemical engineers, microbiologists and students of these disciplines. Manuscript would be very useful to both the academia and the industrialists.
