The present edition also contains added information on glutamic acid production, traditional fermented foods and alcohol fermentation from cellulosic materials. Three new topics, namely, biofertilizers, production of vitamin B12, and β-carotene production by fermentation have been added to keep up with the recent change in the course. This is basically the same book but the information has been updated. Any criticism for the improvement (updating) of the work will be thankfully received.ĬHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 8 CHAPTER 9 CHAPTER 10 CHAPTER 11 CHAPTER 12 CHAPTER 13 CHAPTER 14 I am very much hopeful that the book will fulfill its intended purpose. I am very much thankful to NAAST College for providing the much-needed computer facility. Thanks are due to those authors whose books I have freely consulted. A short bibliography has been supplied to help students find additional reading materials. Cross-references have been provided in a manner, suitable both for printout copies and browsing with hyperlinks.

The book contains a large number of diagrams to assist the students/readers. Within the scope and limitation of the syllabus, I have tried to put together information as meticulously as possible. The chapters included herein are strictly based on the current syllabus of Industrial Microbiology for B. (Microbiology) respectively at Central Campus of Technology, Dharan, Nepal.

The present work is basically a compilation of a series of lectures on INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOLOGY and MICROBIAL BIOCHEMISTRY I have delivered over the years to B. This book is for educational purpose and is free for circulation, provided it is not plagiarizedīasanta Kumar Rai Lecturer (Industrial Microbiology), Central Campus of Technology, Hattisar, Dharan, Nepal
