Professor Dr. Mahmoud Ismael Taha,
A chemist of exactitude and graceful humility (1924–1981)
This edition is dedicated with affection and gratitude to the memory of the late
Professor Dr. Mahmoud Ismael Taha, who ignited in me a lifelong passion
for biochemistry; he often reminded me that Louis Pasteur was a chemist.

Preface
I beseech you to take interest in these sacred domains, so expressively called laboratories.
Ask that, there be more and that they be adorned for these are the temples of the future,
wealth and well being.
Louis Pasteur
Microorganisms, free-living and immobilized, are widely used industrially as catalysts in the
biotransformation of many chemical reactions, especially in the production of stereospecific iso-
mers. The high specificity, versatility, and the diverse array of microbial enzymes (proteomes) are
currently being exploited for the production of important primary metabolites including amino
acids, nucleotides, vitamins, solvents, and organic acids, as well as secondary metabolites such as
antibiotics, hypercholesterolemia agents, enzyme inhibitors, immunosuppressants, and antitumor
therapeutics.
Recent innovations in functional genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, bio-
sensor technology, nanobiotechnology, cell and enzyme immobilization, and synthetic biology
and in silico research are currently being exploited in drug development programs to combat
disease and hospital-acquired infections as well as in the formulation of a new generation of
therapeutics.
The third edition builds upon the fine pedigree of its earlier predecessors and extends the spec-
trum of the book to reflect the multidisciplinary and buoyant nature of this subject area. To that end,
four new chapters have been commissioned:
• Functional Genomics
• Solid-State Fermentations
• Applications of Metabolomics to Microbial Cell Factories
• Current Trends in Culturing Complex Plant Tissues for the Production of Metabolites and
Elite Genotypes
More exciting advances and discoveries are yet to be unraveled, and the best is yet to come as we
enter a new era in which the exploitations of microorganisms continue to astonish the world com-
munity, especially the use of renewable resources and the generation of new therapeutics to combat
disease are recognized as an urgent need. To that end, Professor Brian S. Hartley predicts the emer-
gence of a new era in which “biorefineries” play a central role in climate control and the balance of
geochemical cycles in our ecosystem.
To aid learning and to make the text more lively and interactive, boxes highlighting the defini-
tions of new and central concepts are shown in the margin, a feature that is now synonymous with
our book.
We very much hope that the third edition will be assimilated and appreciated by those actively
engaged in the pursuit of advancing our field, and to that end, the editor-in-chief wishes to stress
his readiness to receive your feedback, including suggestions by authors who wish to add or
extend the knowledge base of our book, which is becoming increasingly global with every edition.
