Dive into the fascinating world of microbial metabolism, the engine that powers life on a microscopic scale and drives global ecosystems. From the foundational principles of energy flow to the intricate, interconnected pathways that build and break down life's essential molecules, this textbook is your definitive guide to understanding the biochemical prowess of microbes.

Microbial Metabolism: A Textbook on Energetics, Pathways, and Regulation is a comprehensive and modern exploration of the subject, meticulously crafted for clarity and depth. Dr. Md Farooque Abdullah guides you on a journey through:

  • The Foundational Principles: Master the core concepts of enzymes, bioenergetics, and the universal currency of ATP that underpin all metabolic reactions.
  • Central Pathways of Life: Explore the intricate details of cellular respiration, fermentation, and photosynthesis, understanding how microbes generate energy in diverse environments.
  • The Art of Anabolism: Uncover the elegant processes by which microbes synthesize complex carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and the very building blocks of life.
  • Regulation and Adaptability: Learn the sophisticated mechanisms that allow microbes to precisely control their metabolic pathways in response to a changing world, from genetic regulation to allosteric control.
  • Frontier Applications: Conclude with cutting-edge topics in metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and the role of microbial metabolism in medicine, environmental science, and sustainable technology.
  • Written for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in microbiology, biochemistry, and biotechnology, this textbook transforms a complex subject into a compelling narrative. Whether you are a student seeking a clear path through the metabolic maze or a scientist looking for a comprehensive reference, this book will be an invaluable resource.

    Unlock the power of the invisible. Begin your journey into the heart of microbial life.
