Mushroom Biotechnology: Developments and Applications is a
comprehensive book to provide a better understanding of the main
interactions between biological, chemical and physical factors
directly involved in biotechnological procedures of using mushrooms
as bioremediation tools, high nutritive food sources, and as
biological helpers in healing serious diseases of the human body.
The book points out the latest research results and original
approaches to the use of edible and medicinal mushrooms as
efficient bio-instruments to reduce the environment and food
crises. This is a valuable scientific resource to any researcher,
professional, and student interested in the fields of mushroom
biotechnology, bioengineering, bioremediation, biochemistry,
eco-toxicology, environmental engineering, food engineering,
mycology, pharmacists, and more.
Sustainable Horticulture: Microbial Inoculants and Stress
Interaction gives insights into the applications and formulations
of microbial inoculants. In recent years, the optimum yields of
horticultural plants largely influenced by rising global
temperature, biotic stress (attack of pathogens) and abiotic
stresses has created extra pressure for the horticulturalist to
meet the need of optimum yield production for the burgeoning global
population. However, the challenges of biotic and abiotic stress
factors mitigated by traditional physical or chemicals methods
include high application cost and adverse impact on quality limit
the frequent use, hence the solutions in this book create new
avenues for progress. This book covers those challenges and how
microbial based bio inoculants are broadly used in horticulture to
mitigate the challenges of biotic and abiotic stresses. It provides
an important contribution on how to apply efficient beneficial
microbes (microbial inoculants) for a sustainable society.
