About this Research Topic
This special is intended to facilitate innovative and emerging methods that address the development of downstream industries to produce rare sugars. Progress in microbial biotechnology is crucial for blooming various sectors of food safety, security, biotechnology, phytochemicals, and furthering fundamental research in the agricultural sciences. This has enabled the sustainable production of a wide array of bioproducts, such as biomaterials, biofuels, and biopharmaceuticals. Microbial enzymes are metabolic catalysts for the development of industrial bioprocesses.
Consequently, the main objective of this special issue subjected to improve or/and more versatile microbial enzymes to advance novel, sustainable, and economically competitive production processes. Method optimization, molecular modification, metabolic engineering. upscaling, and ongoing challenges to establish multiproduct biomaterial to accomplish high-value entities will also be entertained.
This special issue welcomed high-quality research articles, review articles, and short communications that focus on but are not limited to the following topics:
• Biochemical production, purification, characterization, and quantification of fermentation-based biochemical products
• Designing microbial enzyme production on large scale for sustainable production of high-value products
• Metabolic engineering to enhance the activity of the enzyme
• Food grade microbial host to produce an enzyme
• Descriptive novel routes for biosynthesizing rare sugars and their applications
• The mechanism involved in the microbial synthesis of rare sugars
• Microbiology of fermented foods
• Microbiological characteristics of general and sensorial food quality and spoilage
• Methods for screening, identification, and enumeration of foodborne microbial toxins
• Effect of food preservatives, bioprotectants, and packaging system on microbiology of foods
