Cold-adapted yeasts inhabit numerous low-temperature environments where they are subjected to seasonal or permanent cold conditions. Hence, they have evolved a number of adaptation strategies with regard to growth and reproduction, metabolic activities, survival and protection. Due to their distinctive ability to thrive successfully at low and even subzero temperatures, cold-adapted yeasts are increasingly attracting attention in basic science and industry for their enormous biotechnological potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents our current understanding of the diversity and ecology of cold-adapted yeasts in worldwide cold ecosystems, their adaptation strategies, and their biotechnological significance. Special emphasis is placed on the exploitation of cold-adapted yeasts as a source of cold-active enzymes and biopolymers, as well as their benefits for food microbiology, bioremediation and biocontrol. Further, aspects of food biodeterioration are considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pietro Buzzini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3662512157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783662512159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.14d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pietro Buzzini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487004012799,"sku":"9783662512159","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2b7746d-fbe2-420a-a498-0b9c843ad729.jpg?v=1778057712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cold-adapted-yeasts-pietro-buzzini-9783662512159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
