This contributed volume deals with the various aspects of
freshwater microbiology including diverse habitats, associated
microorganisms, their ecological interactions, and industrial
applications. Freshwater ecosystems are dynamic natural resources,
providing sources of potable water, food, animal habitats, and
recreation. Perspectives of microbial dynamics in freshwater
bodies, covered in this title, provide a comprehensive and
systematic analysis of microbial ecology in these ecosystems. These
microbes are at the hub of biogeochemical cycles (carbon, nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium, and other elements). Moreover, they are an
integral part of the aquatic food web and control the quality of
freshwater bodies. Chapters in this title also discuss the issue of
pollution in freshwater bodies and put forward available strategies
for eco-friendly solutions. The book is a perfect documentation of
primary and secondary data-based information on the latest research
findings, case studies, experiences, and innovations in the field
of freshwater microbiology. The book is of great use to students,
researchers, and professionals studying aquatic sciences.
This book delves into microbial production and its implications for
various industries and presents the latest advancements in the
field of bioactive compound production by microorganisms. Divided
into 16 chapters, the book covers a wide range of topics, starting
with the emerging trends in microbial production techniques,
followed by the potential of fungi and algae in producing bioactive
compounds, and the applications of bioactive compounds in medicine,
agriculture, and industry. Contributions from expert scientists
emphasize the significance of metabolic engineering and modern
analytical techniques for the extraction, purification, and
structural characterization of microbial bioactive compounds. The
authors also present alternative technologies and methodologies for
the recovery and extraction of these compounds from microbial
sources and highlight the health-promoting benefits of natural
plant-derived bioactive compounds. Particular attention is given to
nanocarriers and their potential for managing the delivery of
bioactive compounds in therapeutic applications. The importance of
actinomycetes and their bioactive potential in the agricultural
sector is also discussed. In this book, readers will also find out
about the importance of microbial community dynamics in Antarctica,
their ecological potential, and their industrial application. The
last chapter of the book offers an industrial perspective of
microbial pigments and their applications. This book is a valuable
resource for researchers, academics, and industry professionals
seeking to understand and harness the potential of microbial
bioactive compounds for sustainable development, industrial
applications, and improved human well-being.
This contributed volume focuses on the latest innovations in the
field of marine microbiology. Marine ecosystems are dynamic natural
resources and home to very primitive life forms. They include open
sea, deep sea, coastal marine ecosystem mudflats, seagrass meadows,
mangroves, and rocky intertidal systems. This book deals with the
various aspects of marine microbiology including diverse habitats,
associated microorganisms, their adaptations, ecological
interactions, biogeochemical cycling, and industrial applications.
It also discusses the issue of pollution in oceans and put forward
available strategies for its eco-friendly solution. In recent
years, extensive research, advanced methodologies, and
high-throughput instrumentation have resulted in voluminous data
and information that require proper compilation and worldwide
sharing. From this perspective, the book is a perfect documentation
of primary and secondary data-based information on the latest
research findings, case studies, experiences, and innovations in
the field of marine microbiology. The book is of great use to
students, researchers and professionals studying marine sciences.
