Microbes for Humanity and Its Applications

This book updates in details about the microbes and their intervention in different sectors. We are living in a world with gigantic pools of microorganisms. Microorganisms have been employed in various human welfare and industrial applications from several decades. Microbes has been exploited for various applications viz. crop improvement, crop protection from pests, recombinant proteins and vaccine production, production of antibiotics and pharmaceutical compounds, production of beverages and bakery products, textiles and detergent, industrial effluent treatment. Microbes have been utilized in production of bio-fuels and in green synthesis of nanomaterials. Advances in genetic engineering and gene editing tools have revolutionized their application potential. Omics studies have further assisted to understand and explore the unknown complex microbial pathways that lead to augment their application potential. The main idea of book is to bring together the work done by leading researchers in different sector of microbial application within a single book. The overall purpose of the book is to provide deep insights into the present scenario of microbial applications with future challenges.
