Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture

Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture
Discover  the positive and helpful contributions made by microorganisms to  various areas of human health, food preservation and production,  biotechnology, industry, environmental clean-up and sustainable  agriculture.

In Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production,  Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture, a team of distinguished  researchers delivers a comprehensive and eye-opening look at the  positive side of bacteria and other microbes. The book explores the  important and positive roles played by microorganisms.

Divided  into five sections, Good Microbes examines the use of microorganisms and  the microbiome in human health, food production, industrial use,  bioremediation, and sustainable agriculture. Coverage spans from food  allergies, skin disorders, microbial food preservation and fermentation  of various beverages and food products, and from an ethical point of  view to the beneficial use of microbes in biotechnology, industry,  bioeconomy, environmental remediation such as resource recovery,  microbial-based environmental clean-up, plant-microbe interactions in  biorestauration, biological control of plant diseases, and biological  nitrogen fixation.
Provides basic knowledge on bacterial biology,  biochemistry, genetics, and genomics of beneficial microbesIncludes  practical discussions of microbial biotechnology, including the  contribution of microbial biotechnology to sustainable development  goalsFeatures a comprehensive introduction and extensive index to  facilitate the search for key terms.
Perfect for scientists,  researchers and anyone with an interest in beneficial microbes, Good  Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation,  and Agriculture is also an indispensable resource for microbiology  graduate students, applied microbiologists and policy makers.
