This two-volume work is a testament to the increasing interest in
the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and food security.
Advances in microbial technologies are explored in chapters dealing
with topics such as plant-microbe interactions, rhizoremediation
and cyanoremediation, and bio-immobilization. Volume II is a
collection of research findings that invites readers to examine the
application of microbes in pollution reduction, decontamination of
agro- and aquatic ecosystems, and remediation of various toxic
compounds. Highly readable entries attempt to close the knowledge
gap between soil microbial associations and sustainable
agriculture. Traditional agricultural management techniques have
relied heavily on application of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides; and recent land use change practices have led to over
exploitation of natural resources. Strategies outlined here
simplify a complicated picture of the way microbial communities can
improve the quality of environment and eliminate food scarcity in
the coming generations. This work is a significant contribution to
research in this increasingly important discipline of soil
sciences, and will appeal to researchers in microbiology,
agriculture, environmental sciences, and soil and crop sciences.
This two-volume work is a testament to the increasing interest in
the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and food security.
Advances in microbial technologies are explored in chapters dealing
with topics such as carbon sequestration, soil fertility
management, sustainable crop production, and microbial signaling
networks. Volume I is a collection of research findings that
invites readers to examine the application of microbes in
reinstating degraded ecosystems and also in establishing
sustainable croplands. Highly readable entries attempt to close the
knowledge gap between soil microbial associations and sustainable
agriculture. An increase in the global population with changing
climate is leading to environments of various abiotic and biotic
stresses for agricultural crops. It therefore becomes important to
identify the techniques to improve soil fertility and function
using different microbial groups such as actinobacteria,
microalgae, fluorescent pseudomonads and cyanobacterial systems.
These are examined in this volume in greater detail. This work is a
significant contribution to research in this increasingly important
discipline, and will appeal to researchers in microbiology,
agriculture, environmental sciences, and soil and crop sciences.

This book is about the role played by microbes in their community
mode in sustaining ecosystems. The descriptions given in its
chapters indicate clearly that microbial communities are more
effective in delivering multifaceted benefits to the soil-plant
system than those offered by microbial monocultures in planktonic
modes. The role these communities play in a multitude of
microbe-microbe and plant-microbe interactions have not yet been
fully exploited to gain benefits in this field as well as to
achieve sustainability in agriculture practices. Amply discussed
are the beneficial characteristics and metabolic capacities of
specific microbial groups and the use of microbial traits for the
benefit of plant growth. The book suggests the need to develop new
microbial technologies to utilize plant-associated microbes for
increased crop productivity and agroecosystem balance in order to
ensure sustainability. This also provides an effective guidance to
scientists, academics, researchers, students and policy makers of
the sphere to achieve the above outcomes.

Microbial technology plays an integral role in the biotechnology,
bioengineering, biomedicine/biopharmaceuticals and agriculture
sector. This book provides a detailed compendium of the methods,
biotechnological routes, and processes used to investigate
different aspects of microbial resources and applications. It
covers the fundamental and applied aspects of microorganisms in the
health, industry, agriculture and environmental sectors, reviewing
subjects as varied and topical as pest control, health and
industrial developments and animal feed.
