Annual Reports on Fermentation Processes, Volume 2 focuses on fermentation research and developments. This book discusses the production of fermentable sugars from cellulosic materials, fermentation products from cellulosic materials, and models and methods for computer control of fermenters. The kinetic hysteresis in enzyme and fermentation systems, immobilization methods, and process control on cultivation of microorganisms are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the yeast-derived products, nuclear modified cephalosporins, and biosynthetic pathways and metabolic regulation. Other topics include the microbial transformations of antibiotics and cytotoxic and antitumor compounds from fermentations. This volume is a good source for students and specialists conducting work on the significant developments concerning fermentation processes.
