Hence, this textbook has been written to impart basic and applied knowledge of industrial microorganisms as per the contents specified by the 5th Dean’s committee.

Features:


• Efforts have been made to describe methods in isolating. Maintaining and genetic improvement of industrial microorganisms. Besides, a detailed description of fermenter makeup and their usage has been provided.
• The application of industrial microorganisms in producing fermented beverages, enzymes, foods, biofuels and pharmaceuticals like antibiotics, hormones etc. have been provided with suitable successful examples.
• Each chapter has been divided into sections and subsections with illustrations in the form of figures and tables so that the reader may grasp the subject easily. All the chapters have been written as per the prescribed syllabus for UG and PG courses in Industrial Microbiology.
