Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of
organisms. Due to their immense range of habitats, and the
consequent need to compete against a diverse array of other fungi,
bacteria, and animals, fungi have developed numerous survival
mechanisms. However, besides their major basic positive role in the
cycling of minerals, organic matter and mobilizing insoluble
nutrients, fungi have other beneficial impacts: they are considered
good sources of food and active agents for a number of industrial
processes involving fermentation mechanisms as in the bread, wine
and beer industry. A number of fungi also produce biologically
important metabolites such as enzymes, vitamins, antibiotics and
several products of important pharmaceutical use; still others are
involved in the production of single cell proteins. The economic
value of these marked positive activities has been estimated as
approximating to trillions of US dollars. The unique attributes of
fungi thus herald great promise for their application in
biotechnology and industry. Since ancient Egyptians mentioned in
their medical prescriptions how they can use green molds in curing
wounds as the obvious historical uses of penicillin, fungi can be
grown with relative ease, making production at scale viable. The
search for fungal biodiversity, and the construction of a living
fungi collection, both have incredible economic potential in
locating organisms with novel industrial uses that will lead to
novel products. Fungi have provided the world with penicillin,
lovastatin, and other globally significant medicines, and they
remain an untapped resource with enormous industrial potential.
Volume 1 of Industrially Important Fungi for Sustainable
Development provides an overview to understanding fungal diversity
from diverse habitats and their industrial application for future
sustainability. It encompasses current advanced knowledge of fungal
communities and their potential biotechnological applications in
industry and allied sectors. The book will be useful to scientists,
researchers, and students of microbiology, biotechnology,
agriculture, molecular biology, and environmental biology.
Fungi are an essential, fascinating and biotechnologically useful
group of organisms with an incredible biotechnological potential
for industrial exploitation. Knowledge of the world's fungal
diversity and its use is still incomplete and fragmented. There are
many opportunities to accelerate the process of filling knowledge
gaps in these areas. The worldwide interest of the current era is
to increase the tendency to use natural substances instead of
synthetic ones. The increasing urge in society for natural
ingredients has compelled biotechnologists to explore novel
bioresources which can be exploited in industrial sector. Fungi,
due to their unique attributes and broad range of their biological
activities hold great promises for their application in
biotechnology and industry. Fungi are an efficient source of
antioxidants, enzymes, pigments, and many other secondary
metabolites. The large scale production of fungal pigments and
their utility provides natural coloration without creating harmful
effects on entering the environment, a safer alternative use to
synthetic colorants. The fungal enzymes can be exploited in wide
range of industries such as food, detergent, paper, and also for
removal toxic waste. This book will serve as valuable source of
information as well as will provide new directions to researchers
to conduct novel research in field of mycology. Volume 2 of
"Industrially Important Fungi for Sustainable Development" provides
an overview to understanding bioprospecting of fungal biomolecules
and their industrial application for future sustainability. It
encompasses current advanced knowledge of fungal communities and
their potential biotechnological applications in industry and
allied sectors. The book will be useful to scientists, researchers,
and students of microbiology, biotechnology, agriculture, molecular
biology, and environmental biology.

New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and
Bioengineering: Trends of Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable
Agriculture and Biomedicine Systems: Perspectives for Human Health
discusses how microbial biotechnology helps us understand new
strategies to reduce pathogens and drug resistance through
microbial biotechnology. The most commonly used probiotic bacteria
are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Therefore, the probiotic
strains exhibit powerful anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and other
important properties. This new book provides an indispensable
reference source for engineers/bioengineers, biochemists,
biotechnologists, microbiologists, pharmacologists, and researchers
who want to know about the unique properties of this microbe and
explore its sustainable biomedicine future applications.
New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and
Bioengineering: Trends of Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable
Agriculture and Biomedicine Systems: Diversity and Functional
Perspectives describes how specific techniques can be used to
generalize the metabolism of bacteria that optimize biologic
improvement strategies and bio-transport processes. Microbial
biotechnology focuses on microbes of agricultural, environmental,
industrial, and clinical significance. This volume discusses
several methods based on molecular genetics, systems, and biology
of synthetic, genomic, proteomic, and metagenomics. Recent
developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in
sustainable agriculture and biotechnology have created a highly
potential research area. The soil and plant microbiomes have a
significant role in plant growth promotion, crop yield, soil health
and fertility for sustainable developments. The microbes provide
nutrients and stimulate plant growth through different mechanisms,
including solubilization of phosphorus, potassium, and zinc;
biological nitrogen fixation; production of siderophore, ammonia,
HCN and other secondary metabolites which are antagonistic against
pathogenic microbes. This new book provides an indispensable
reference source for engineers/bioengineers, biochemists,
biotechnologists, microbiologists, agrochemists, and researchers
who want to know about the unique properties of this microbe and
explore its sustainable agriculture future applications.
It describes terms of address and gender in Bhojpuri. The address
system of language is correlated with the social structure of the
speech community. The modes of address indicate a person's socil
status in terms of caste, clss, age, sex, education and religion.
It involves sociolinguistic rules which signify social
appropriateness of usage. In Bhojpuri, the address terms are
embedded in different nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs
interjections, personal nouns, professional titles, and caste
titles It also analyses Greeting and Blessing in Bhojpuri. The
greeting and blessing is used according to the appropriateness of
time, place, person and purpose. There are some sociolinguistic
variables of greeting and blessing used by men only while some are
common for both. It deals with gender in folk literature. Along
with the importance and expanse of Bhojpuri folk literature, the
chapter focuses on folk songs in gender perspective. Gender
distinctions can be clearly marked in the songs.
In hill region of Uttarakhand state, women play a distinctive role
not only in household but in daily routine activities like fuel
wood collection, livestock raising, farming operations etc. Hill
women in spite of their major role, are resource poor and ignorant
about their own problems and sufferings. Hill women use traditional
stoves or chulhas for cooking which emanates smoke. Since, kitchens
in the most hilly homes are poorly ventilated, the smoke gets
accumulated in the house. Prolonged exposure to high levels of
pollutants has an adverse impact on the health of women. Although,
enough viable and adoptive technologies have been developed but
many of these are not reaching to the women residing in remote
areas. Thus, an attempt was made to create awareness among the hill
women of Uttarakhand through the low cost communication aids.
