Many plant-derived bioactive compounds are the foundation for drugs or effective drugs to cure diseases. Usually, the bioactive compounds in plant biomass are low, and the extraction of bioactive compounds from plants is not eco-friendly, which limited their application in drugs and other industries. Though the biosynthesis of some complex bioactive compounds is possible, the scale-up and chemical process technology still need further application in commercial production of the plant-derived bioactive compounds.
Scale-up microbial production processes of plant-derived bioactive compounds from laboratory to industrial scale summarizes recent commercial microbial production strategies for plant-derived bioactive compounds and will be of great interest to scientists, researchers as well as engineers who work on the microbial production of plant-derived bioactive compounds at the industry.
