Biosurfactants by Gloria Soberon-Chavez
Biosurfactants: Research and Development provides a thorough overview of biosurfactant research and development across a range of settings and industries, highlighting the novel use of enzymes, metabolic and genetic engineering in biosurfactant production and showcasing diverse experimental models and approaches. Sections discuss fundamental characteristics of biosurfactants, their physio-chemical properties, and their differences from chemically synthesize surfactants, different research approaches for the study of known biosurfactants, and the genetic manipulation of microorganisms to increase biosurfactant productivity, or to produce molecules with improved characteristics. Throughout the book, methods and approaches are discussed in easy-to-digest formats, with methods discussed, ranging from in silico approaches to classical biocatalysis omics analysis and metabolic engineering.
Gloria Soberón-Chávez is a Professor and Senior Researcher at the Biomedical Research Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. She obtained her PhD in 1986 from UNAM Basic Biomedical Research Program and has been a researcher in this university ever since, working with different bacterial models such as Rhizobium etli, Azotobacter vinelandii and P. aeruginosa among others. Dr. Soberón-Chávez has around ninety publications in peer reviewed scientific journals such as Proceeding of the National Academy Science USA, Trends in Microbiology, Molecular Microbiology, Journal of Bacteriology, BMC-Genomics, and Microbial Biotechnology.
