Microbial Styrene Degradation
Tischler, Dirk.
Microbial Styrene Degradation [electronic resource] / by Dirk Tischler. - 1st ed. 2015. - XIV, 108 p. 21 illus., 6 illus. in color. online resource. - SpringerBriefs in Microbiology, 2191-5385 . - SpringerBriefs in Microbiology, .
Styrene, an introduction -- Pathways for the degradation of styrene -- Molecular genetics of styrene degrading routes -- Selected enzymes of styrene catabolism -- Biotechnological applications of styrene degrading microorganisms or involved enzymes -- Conclusions and future perspectives.
This book describes the complex processes involved in styrene degradation by microbes, including highly adaptive microorganisms, the various enzymes involved in styrene biodegradation, new styrene-catabolic routes, novel regulatory mechanisms, and the genes coding for styrene metabolizing enzymes. Numerous biotechnological applications are discussed, such as the development of sustainable eco-friendly technologies as well as the use of styrene degrading microorganisms and their enzymes as a rich resource for biotechnology.
