This book discusses different approaches for successful pest-management through biotechnological interventions. Pest management is directly associated with the agricultural productivity. The book introduces the reader to various kinds of biopesticides that have been developed and are being developed for field application. Chemical pesticides have been widely used to control pests, and these induce pesticide resistance as well as other environmental problems. This book discusses the necessity to develop alternate pest control strategies, especially environment-friendly and target-specific biopesticides against destructive pests. The book describes important aspects such as microbial biopesticides, plant-based biopesticides, natural products that act against pests and the various other biotechnological advances and limitations of these biopesticides. It provides an in-depth knowledge of the latest research and development in the area of biopesticides. This informative book is meant for students and researchers in the fields of biotechnology, agriculture and applied microbiology.

Covers wide range of concepts, investigations, and technological advancement in metagenomics at the global level. Highlights the novel and recent approaches to analyze microbial diversity and its functional attributes. Features range of chapters that present an introduction to the field and functional insight of various ecosystems.

Recent Advances and Future Perspectives of Microbial Metabolites: Applications in Biomedicine sheds new light on various applications of microbial metabolites in the biomedical sector. The purpose of this book is to integrate the latest research advancements on the application of microbial metabolites in the medical industry into a single platform. In 10 chapters, the significance of biomedical applications and future therapeutic applications of microbial metabolites in human health are highlighted. Several chapters are dedicated to the role of microbial metabolites in precision medicine like the impact of the activities of microbial metabolites in antitumor and antidiabetic agents and immunosuppressive activities. It also provides a roadmap for drugs discovery based on antimicrobial products and the effect of microbial metabolites on humans' health and the immune system. The book finalizes with a chapter on the use of microbial metabolites in OMICS technology. Recent Advances and Future Perspectives of Microbial Metabolites: Applications in Biomedicine targets researchers from both academia and industry, professors, and graduate students from microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, and immunology.

Das Buch untersucht den Inhalt der Aufgreifkriterien in der europaischen, deutschen, taiwanesischen und festlandchinesischen Fusionskontrolle. Der Autor geht zuerst von einem Konkretisierungsmechanismus bei der Konkretisierung der Aufgreifkriterien aus. Danach werden die in der Praxis am haufigsten vorkommenden Zusammenschlusssachverhalte, namlich Fusion, Kontrollerwerb, Grundung eines Gemeinschaftsunternehmens, Anteils- und Anteilsrechtserwerb sowie Vermoegenserwerb, nach den jeweiligen Vorschriften untersucht. Es werden die in der europaischen, deutschen, taiwanesischen und festlandchinesischen Fusionskontrollpraxis entstandenen Streitfragen ausgeleuchtet und klare Loesungsvorschlage zugleich unterbreitet.
