M icrobial biotechnology is an important area that promotes
advanced research into using microbes for value-added products,
human nutrition, and the overall wellbeing of society. This book
presents the latest information on the use of microbes for
sustainable development, and highlights state-of-the-art
biotechnological techniques used to harness microbial
biotechnological traits on a commercial scale. Gathering
contributions from authoritative researchers in the field, it
addresses recent advances in microbial biotechnological approaches
that offer sustainable options for future generations. Exploring a
broad range of microbial products and their uses, the book
specifically places emphasis on the application of microorganisms
in healthcare, the environment and industry. It also discusses
various compound classes derived from microbial metabolites.
Pursuing a holistic approach to recent advances in the utilization
of various microbes as biotechnological tools, the book also covers
traditional uses, and explores emerging strategies to harness their
full potential. Accordingly, it offers a valuable resource for
researchers and graduate students alike.
Fungal nanobionics has great prospects for developing new products
with industrial, agriculture, medicine and consumer applications in
a wide range of sectors. The fields of chemical engineering,
agri-food, biochemical, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and medical
device development all employ fungal products, with fungal
nanomaterials currently used in a wide range of applications,
ranging from drug development to food industry and agricultural
sector. The fungal agents emerge as an environmentally friendly,
clean, non-toxic agent for the biogenic metal nanoparticles and
employs both intracellular and extracellular methods. The
simplicity of scaling up and downstream processing and the presence
of fungal mycelia affording an increased surface area provide key
advantages. In addition, the larger spectrum of synthesized
nanoparticle morphologies and the substantially faster biosynthesis
rate in cell-free filtrate (due to the higher amount of proteins
secreted in fungi) make this a particularly enticing route.
Understanding the diversity of fungi in assorted ecosystems, as
well as their interactions with other microorganisms, animals and
plants, is essential to underpin real and innovative technological
developments and the applications of metal nanoparticles in many
disciplines including agriculture, catalysis, and biomedical
biosensors. Importantly, biogenic fungal nanoparticles show
significant synergistic characteristics when combined with
antibiotics and fungicides to offer substantially greater
resistance to microbial growth and applications in nanomedicine
ranging from topical ointments and bandages for wound healing to
coated stents.
