This volume focuses on how waste biomass can be transformed into
useful biomaterials, food and feed, fuel, and chemicals by using
various processes such as chemical, physical, thermal, biological,
and biotechnological procedures. Biomass from biowastes, such as
agriculture crop residues, wood processing residues, forest
residues, food waste, industrial waste, and municipal solid waste,
have emerged as potential substrates for bioenergy production. This
volume explores the key features of biotechnology for waste biomass
utilization, presenting scientific and technical literature on
sustainable waste biomass management as well as for biomass
conversion for biofuels, chemicals, and other new commercial
products. It discusses a variety of novel biotechnical applications
and interventions, including microbial fermentation and anaerobic
digestion, biotechnological modes of xylooligosaccharides
production, multifaceted utilization of microalgal biomass,
vermiculture and vermicomposting, and more. Key features: Provides
the most recent information about waste biomass utilization for the
production of biofuels and biochemicals Shows a wide range of novel
technologies in the field of biotechnology towards waste biomass
utilization Focuses on the utilization of microbial resources for
waste biomass conversion into value-added products Explores methods
for food wastes and crop wastes conversion into biofuels and
biochemicals Provides the scientific information describing various
examples and case studies which aid gaining knowledge to
researchers and academicians With chapters from eminent researchers
who have significant global experience in the field of waste
biomass management, this volume delivers a wealth of valuable
information for researchers involved in bioenergy utilization. It
will also be an essential source for academicians, researchers,
economists, policymakers, and policy analysts.
Aeromicrobiology deals with the study of air borne microorganisms
and viruses along with important particulate matter of air,
especially smoke, dust and pesticides. Hospital is an important
indoor environment responsible for the spread of airborne pathogens
which later on is transmitted to other individuals viz., patients,
hospital workers, visitors, etc. In turn it is carried over
patients. Squames from the skin of persons may contain many
pathogenic bacteria which are transmitted to patients. Hospital
environment is responsible both for indoor and later outdoor
community and represents a congenial situation where microorganisms
and susceptible patients are together indoors. The estimation of
the quantity and types of airborne microorganisms serves as an
index for the cleanliness of the environment as well as a profile
reveling human health and hospital-acquired infections. Evaluation
of microbial count, types, and diversity in hospital indoor
environments is of growing concern. Therefore, attempts must be
made to check the spread of pathogens in the hospitals so that
primary and secondary infections could be avoided.
