The roles of microbes in agriculture, industry and environment have
been the point of interest since long time for their potential
exploitation. Although only a fraction of microbial diversity was
accessed by microbiologists earlier for harnessing them owing to
limited techniques available. The molecular techniques have opened
new vistas to access the wide field of the unexplored microbes and
their exploitation for useful genes and novel metabolites. Sincere
efforts have been made in biotechnology using microbes leading to
improve our life with respect to agriculture and people health.
This comprehensive volume covers different aspects of microbial
biotechnology and its management in sustainable agriculture for
food security and improved human health. The book comprises four
sections: Endophytes and Mycorrhizae, Microbial Diversity and Plant
Protection, Microbial Functions and Biotechnology, and Microbes and
the Environment, which contain 53 chapters. The book examines the
aspects on endophytes and mycorrhizae, bioactive compounds, growth
promoting microorganisms, disease management with emphasis on
biocontrol, genetics of disease resistance, microbial enzymes,
advances in potential of microbes and their industrial as well as
pharmaceutical applications. In addition, the use of botanicals,
and the etiology and management of medicinal and aromatic plants in
the post harvest management have been reviewed in greater depth for
the benefit of teaching and research community.  The
biotechnological developments using microbe potential have enabled
us combat the environment and human health problems worldwide in
ecofriendly manner. We are sure that this volume will be highly
useful to all those concerned with fungi, bacteria, viruses and
their biology, including environmental and public health officers
and professionals in the field of interest. The volume is an
exhaustive coverage of almost all the aspects of microbial biology
and biotechnology.
