This book provides a concise and comprehensive overview of the
basic biology, genomics, biotechnological applications and role of
Pseudomonas in agriculture, environment and industry. The
Pseudomonas genus occupies a key position in medicine, the
environment, agriculture and commercial biotechnology by virtue of
its genetic diversity, metabolic adaptability and versatility and
the broad array of ecological niches that it inhabits. Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, is known for its multiple
drug resistance and is associated with cystic fibrosis and wound
infections particularly in patients with burn injuries. Pseudomonas
syringae is a plant pathogen and is responsible for major crop
losses in horticultural, vegetable and field crops. Another
species, P. fluorescens is known for promoting plant growth through
the production of certain hormones and the biocontrol of soil-borne
fungal diseases and insects. The ability to adapt to diverse and
challenging environments and degrade recalcitrant compounds means
that the genus is widely exploited for bioremediation, while their
genetic diversity coupled with broad catalytic potential makes them
valuable in biotransformation, synthesis of high-value chiral
compounds for biosynthesis and production of biopolymers and
bio-surfactants widely used in medicine, agriculture and industry.
The book serves as a ready reference and text book for graduate
students, young field microbiologists and research scientists in
academia, research institutes and industry.
