Microbiota are a promising and fascinating subject in biology
because they integrate the microbial communities in humans,
animals, plants, and the environment. In humans, microbiota are
associated with the gut, skin, and genital, oral, and respiratory
organs. The plant microbial community is referred to as
"holobiont," and it is influential in the maintenance and health of
plants, which themselves play a role in animal health and the
environment. The contents of Microbiome-Host Interactions cover all
areas as well as new research trends in the fields of plant,
animal, human, and environmental microbiome interactions. The book
covers microbiota in polar soil environments, in health and
disease, in Caenorhabditis elegans, and in agroecosystems, as well
as in rice root and actinorhizal root nodules, speleothems, and
marine shallow-water hydrothermal vents. Moreover, this book
provides comprehensive accounts of advanced next-generation DNA
sequencing, metagenomic techniques, high-throughput 16S rRNA
sequencing, and understanding nucleic acid sequence data from
fungal, algal, viral, bacterial, cyanobacterial, actinobacterial,
and archaeal communities using QIIME software (Quantitative
Insights into Microbial Ecology). FEATURES Summarizes recent
insight in microbiota and host interactions in distinct habitats,
including Antarctic, hydrothermal vents, speleothems, oral, skin,
gut, feces, reproductive tract, soil, root, root nodules, forests,
and mangroves Illustrates the high-throughput amplicon sequencing,
computational techniques involved in the microbiota analysis,
downstream analysis and visualization, and multivariate analysis
commonly used for microbiome analysis Describes probiotics and
prebiotics in the composition of the gut microbiota, skin
microbiome impact in dermatologic disease prevention, and microbial
communities in the reproductive tract of humans and animals
Presents information in a reachable way for students, teachers,
researchers, microbiologists, computational biologists, and other
professionals who are interested in strengthening or enlarging
their knowledge about microbiome analysis with next-generation DNA
sequencing in the different branches of the sciences
Fermented food play an important proactive role in the human diet.
In many developing and under developed countries, fermented food is
a cheap source of nutrition. Currently, more than 3500 different
fermented foods are consumed by humans throughout the world; many
are indigenous and produced in small quantities, however, the
consumption of many fermented foods has gradually increased.
Fermented Food Products presents in-depth insights into various
microbes involved in the production of fermented foods throughout
the world. It also focuses on recent developments in the fermented
food microbiology field along with biochemical changes that are
happening during the fermentation process. * Describes various
fermented food products, especially indigenous products * Presents
health benefits of fermented food products * Explains mechans
involved in the production of fermented foods * Discusses molecular
tools and its applications and therapeutic uses of fermented foods
The book provides a comprehensive account about diversified ethnic
fermented food products. Readers will get updated information
regarding various types of fermented food products and will learn
the effect these fermented food products have on human health.
This protocol book provides detailed procedures for the isolation
of cyanobacteria, extraction, quantification, and detection of
cyanotoxins. It illustrates the sampling and processing of
toxin-producing cyanobacteria in water and aquatic animal samples,
detection of cyanotoxins from Anabaena, Anabaenopsis,
Cylindrospermopsis, Microsystis, Microcystis, Nodularia, Nostoc,
Schizotrix, Lyngbya, Raphidiopsis, Oscillatoria, Planktothrix in
aquatic resources. It also covers toxicity analysis by various
bioassay protocols, and in vitro and insilico analysis methods. The
book also reviews the methods for cyanotoxin extraction, detection,
and quantification by various tools including LC-MS/MS, HPLC, NMR,
PCR, and HESI-MS/MS. A separate section is dedicated to the
advanced methods in Cyanotoxin analysis including the Molecular
Imprinting Method (MIM), Cellular signaling biosensor,
Electrochemical sensor, Nanosensors, and screening of Polyketide
synthase gene. The analysis of various toxin-producing genes like
sxtA and mcy is also accounted for in the proposed book. In a
nutshell, the book gives comprehensive procedures about the basics
and preliminary processes that are involved in sample collection to
advanced methods incorporated into the well-explored and unexplored
Cyanobacterial toxin. Consequently, the proposed manual is useful
for both beginners and advanced researchers, including postgraduate
students, academicians, researchers, and scientists in the field of
Cyanobacterial research. ​
