industrial/economic use of biosurfactants in modern biotechnology.
This book represents comprehensive material developed by
contemporary experts in the field. Focusing on research and
developments within the last 20 years, it highlights relevant
changes in the industry. It provides a detailed account of the
current applications of biosurfactants, considers the potential for
further environmental, biological, and industrial applications, and
concentrates on surfactants and organisms with possibilities for
future use. Emphasizes Process Scale-Up and Commercialization

This book: (i) introduces fundamental and applied bioinformatics
research in the field of plant life sciences; (ii) enlightens the
potential users towards the recent advances in the development and
application of novel computational methods available for the
analysis and integration of plant -omics data; (iii) highlights
relevant databases, softwares, tools and web resources developed
till date to make ease of access for researchers working to
decipher plant responses towards stresses; and (iv) presents a
critical cross-talks on the available high-throughput data in plant
research. Therefore, in addition to being a reference for the
professional researchers, it is also of great interest to students
and their professors. Considering immense significance of plants
for all lives on Earth, the major focus of research in plant
biology has been to: (a) select plants that best fit the purposes
of human, (b) develop crop plants superior in quality, quantity and
farming practices when compared to natural (wild) plants, and (c)
explore strategies to help plants to adapt biotic and
abiotic/environmental stress factors. Accordingly the development
of novel techniques and their applications have increased
significantly in recent years. In particular, large amount of
biological data have emerged from multi-omics approaches aimed at
addressing numerous aspects of the plant systems under biotic or
abiotic stresses. However, even though the field is evolving at a
rapid pace, information on the cross-talks and/or critical
digestion of research outcomes in the context of plant
bioinformatics is scarce. "Plant Bioinformatics: Decoding the
Phyta" is aimed to bridge this gap.
Synthesis of Bionanomaterials for Biomedical Applications
summarizes a range of procedures, including green synthesis of
metal nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, and other types of
nanoparticles while also exploring the appropriate use of these
nanoparticles in various therapeutic applications such as
anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, drug delivery, and more. The
book provides important information for materials scientists and
pharmaceutical scientists on the synthesis of various nanoparticles
using a variety of eco-friendly bionanomaterials. As concern has
arisen regarding the environmental impact caused by some of
nanomaterials, as well as their possible toxicity to cells, this
book presents information on a new generation of eco-friendly
materials. In addition, the green synthesis of nanoparticles shows
how environmentally-friendly nanoparticles can be synthesized from
different biological sources, such as microbes, fungi, algae and
plants.
