Lanthanides in Enzymology and Microbiology

Discover the hidden power of rare earth biology. Lanthanides in Enzymology and Microbiology by Akio Tani, Ryoji Mitsui, and Tomoyuki Nakagawa brings a clear, authoritative look at how lanthanide elements shape enzyme function, microbial metabolism, and emerging biotechnologies. This title is essential reading for scientists, students, and industry professionals exploring the intersection of inorganic chemistry and life sciences.

Delving into mechanisms, pathways, and ecological significance, the book explains how lanthanides influence enzyme structure and catalytic activity, and how microbes harness these elements in natural and engineered systems. Written with clarity and depth, chapters bridge fundamental enzymology with applied microbiology, covering analytical approaches, physiological studies, and implications for environmental remediation, biocatalysis, and sustainable biotechnology.

Imagine leveraging that knowledge in the lab or the field: improving bioprocess efficiency, designing lanthanide-aware cultivation strategies, or interpreting environmental cycles where rare earth elements play a role. The authors’ combined expertise makes complex concepts accessible while preserving scientific rigor—ideal for graduate courses, research groups, and R&D teams across Asia, Europe, and North America.

Whether you’re a researcher mapping metal-dependent pathways, a biotech developer scouting new enzyme tools, or an academic building a course on metal-microbe interactions, this book equips you with practical insight and a global perspective. Lanthanides in Enzymology and Microbiology is a timely resource that connects cutting-edge science to real-world applications.
