Actinobacteria: Diversity and Biotechnological Applications: New
and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and
Bioengineering, a volume in the series New and Future Developments
in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering series, offers the
latest on the biotechnology of Kingdom actinobacteria, covering
unique niches like their endosphere, rhizospheric soil and
contaminated sites, etc. The book also covers the bioactive
secondary metabolites obtained from actinobacteria and describes
the application of microorganism (Actinobacteria) in plant growth
promotion and in environmental cleanup. Finally, the book describes
the biocontrol aspects of actinobacteria and how they can control
fungal phytopathogens and the production of secondary metabolites.
Mushrooms are fleshy fungi with a high prospective for the
production of secondary metabolites including extracellular enzymes
with high agricultural and biotechnological significance.
Worldwide, they are well recognized as supplementary foods due to
their high nutritional values and their medicinal importance, which
includes their uses in exhibiting antioxidant and antimicrobial
activities, immune enhancer, and to be effective for the treatment
of several diseases including diabetes and few types of cancers as
well. According to recent studies, extracellular enzymes produced
by several white-rot fungal strains such as Phanerochaete
chrysosporium, Pleurotus sajor-caju and several mushrooms have
shown a high capacity to decolorize dyes that are very harmful for
the environment. Moreover, wild macrofungi have the capability to
synthesize nanoparticles which are more useful for the treatment of
cancer, gene therapy, DNA analysis and biosensors. Wild macrofungi
are extremely important model for basic biology and commercial
manufacture.
The rapid increase in microbial resources along with the
development of biotechnological methods has revolutionized the
field of microbial biotechnology. Genome characterization methods
and metagenomic approaches further illustrate the role of
microorganisms in various fields of research. Recent Advancement in
Microbial Biotechnology: Agricultural and Industrial Approach
provides an overview on the recent application of the
microorganisms in agricultural and industrial improvements. The
purpose of this book is to integrate all these diverse areas of
research in a common platform. Recent advancement in Microbial
Biotechnology targets researchers from both academia and industry,
professors and graduate students working in molecular biology,
microbiology and biotechnology.
