DESCRIPTION |
|
| Microbial biotechnology may have a profound effect on the world economy over the next two decades. Innovations emerging in the food and pharmaceutical sectors point to the enormous potential of biotechnology to provide diverse new products, environmental remediation technologies, biodegradable plastics, novel therapeutic agents and chemicals and enzymes that will reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of industrial processes. This book Microbial Biotechnology contains 21 articles on different aspects of microbial biotechnology. Articles on biotechnological approaches in cyanobacterial inoculant technology; biological waste water treatment; industrial application of cold-loving micro-organisms; treatment of dairy effluent by cyanobacteria and bioremediation of textile dye waste water provide information on the role and application of microbes in the present scenario. The book also covers information on the potential of bioagents for the management of diseases, commercial uses of Ganoderma fungus, role of rumen fungi in fibre digestion and application of mycorrhizosphere helper bacteria. Aspects covering biotechnological advances in foods; biodegradation of cyanide; tailoring oil crops; antimicrobials from natural resources; Agrobacterium, nature's genetic engineer and microbes as warehouse of genes have been included to project their importance in the 21 century. This book will serve not only as an excellent reference material but also as a practical guide for teachers, research workers, industrialists and workers in the applied field of microbial biotechnology. |
