Increasing importance of the subjects like Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Environmental Science envisages elaborate and consolidated information on these modern disciplines of science. There is an urgent need to integrate all these disciplines to devise a truly interdisciplinary branch of science that caters to the need of all those who are genuinely interested to solve the multifaceted problems faced by the mankind. Therefore, this book is a step forward in the direction of integrating the aforesaid frontline branches into an interdisciplinary course quenching the academic thirst of all those concerned.
Microbial Applications aims to provide information to both undergraduate and post-graduate students studying in various fields of Life Sciences. Though an edited book it has been designed in such a way that even beginners in the field, who are not well acquainted with the problems mentioned in the individual chapters, can also easily grasp the subject.
This book includes twenty-two chapters related to applications and deleterious aspects of microorganisms including utility of A. pullulans in industry, symbiotic nitrogen fixation, microbial enzymes, probiotics, microbes in heavy metal remediation, immunosensor, role of bioinformatics in microbiology, biofertilizers, and microbes as source of plant growth promoting factors etc. Each chapter provides introductory description on the topic followed by a detailed account. All the topics covered in the book are dealt with sound scientific footing. Different chapters were invited from specialists in the concerned disciplines. It is expected that this will cater to the needs of science students.
