Download or read book Protocols of Actinomycetes written by L Karthik and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-29 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the natural products have been isolated and characterized from the actinobacteria, for example polyketides, phenazines, peptides, indolocarbarbazoles, and sterols. To explore new antibiotics from actinobacteria, several bioinformatics and synthetic biology tools were developed. This book covers basics to recent protocols for drug discovery from actinobacteria. Features: Discusses the benefits of production of antibiotics and enzymes from actinomycetes in a large scale Covers the synthetic biology approach Describes the strain improvement of actinobacteria Gives information on basic isolation of actinobacteria and modern techniques Covers the applications and metabolic engineering strategies of actinomycetes This book will be helpful for the pharmaceutical industries and researchers to develop new antibiotics from actinobacteria and can be used in support of future research in drug discovery.
