The book is oriented towards undergraduates science and engineering
students; postgraduates and researchers pursuing the field of
microbiology, biotechnology, chemical - biochemical engineering and
pharmacy. Various applications of microorganisms have been covered
broadly and have been appropriately reflected in depth in 12
different chapters. The book begins with an insight to the diverse
niche of microorganisms which have been explored and exploited in
development of various biotechnological products and green
processes. Further, how these microorganisms have been genetically
modified to improve the desired traits for achieving optimal
production of microbially derived products is discussed in the
second chapter. Major route of production of microbially derived
products and processes is through fermentation technology and
therefore due emphasis on different aspects of fermentation
technology has been given in the subsequent chapter. The
development and deployment of biopesticides and biofertilizers
which find tremendous application have been separately discussed
under agricultural applications. Application of microbes for the
removal of pollutants, recovery of metals and oils has also been
discussed under environmental applications. The role of microbial
systems in development of fermented foods and beverages have also
been discussed in Chapter 6. The application of microbes in
production of commodity chemicals and fine chemicals has also been
discussed in separate chapters. A chapter has been dedicated to the
tremendous applications of microbially produced enzymes in
different industrial sectors. Another unique facet of this book is
explaining the different methods by which desired traits of
microorganisms have been improved for their efficacious and
economical exploitation in the industry. A chapter is dedicated to
exploitation of microorganisms in development of vaccines for human
and veterinary use. Finally, the last chapter discusses the role of
immobilization in optimization of industrial processes and
development of microbial biosensors for industrial applications.
Thus, this book is a holistic approach providing information on the
present applications of microorganisms.
