Yeast Metabolic Engineering: Methods and Protocolsprovides the widely established basic tools used in yeast metabolic engineering, while describing in deeper detail novel and innovative methods that have valuable potential to improve metabolic engineering strategies in industrial biotechnology applications. Beginning with an extensive section on molecular tools and technology for yeast engineering, this detailed volume is not limited to methods forSaccharomyces cerevisiae, but describes tools and protocols for engineering other yeasts of biotechnological interest, such asPichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorphaandZygosaccharomyces bailii. Tools and technologies for the investigation and determination of yeast metabolic features are described in detail as well as metabolic models and their application for yeast metabolic engineering, while a chapter describing patenting and regulations with a special glance at yeast biotechnology closes the volume. Written in the highly successfulMethods in Molecular Biologyseries format, most chapters include an introduction to their respective topic, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and authoritative, Yeast Metabolic Engineering: Methods and Protocolsaims to familiarize researchers with the current state of these vital and increasingly useful technologies. | Yeast Metabolic Engineering by Valeria Mapelli, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
