This book provides an up-to-date overview of the biological functions of melanins, their biotechnological production, and their industrial applications.
The melanins form a group of polymeric pigments found in most organisms.
Guillermo Gosset was awarded a Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in 1993. Since 1988 he has been a research scientist at the Biotechnology Institute/UNAM. His main research interests are related to metabolic pathway engineering and microbial physiology. Gosset’s work has appeared in more than 121 publications and been included in 8 patents. Several of these publications are utilized as examples in textbooks in the field of metabolic engineering. His industrial experience includes two years as a visiting scientist at Genencor International (Palo Alto, U.S.A.) and one year at Metabolic Explorer (Clermont-Ferrand, France). He is member of the editorial board of the Microbial Physiology (formerly known as Journal of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology), where he has been a Senior Editor since 2006. He has also been the Associate Editor of Microbial Cell Factories since 2014.
