Preface
The nineteenth and twentieth centuries have progressed well on chemical and physical sciences, providing a huge reservoir of scientific knowledge and technologies. Even today, we see tremendous and rapid progress in the fields based on ion electronics and information technologies. Biological sciences have been slow to develop and had taken a back seat for long. Our society has exploited chemical and physical science-based products to such an extent that the ill effects are surfacing: high energy inputs, toxic nature, high pollution, and slow or non-degradability. This has opened up the opportunities for scientists especially biologists to look for alternative processes, which circumvent these limitations. Biological processes have all the potential good qualities but are rather inefficient and uneconomical to start with. In order to im
