Microorganisms are capable of producing a great variety of substances that have commercial value. Many industrial processes are based on microorganisms as the source of some desirable substance or biochemical change. All major groups of microorganisms have industrial applications
There is need to identify the major functional groups of microorgamisms responsible for biocolors, alleviation of abiotic stress, bioremediation, biological decolorization & biofertilizers. The microbes specifically involved in the biochemical process like bio-remediation, bio-indicators as well as synthesis of important chemicals need identification and documentation.
The present book “Applied Microbiology” covers 11 chapters as 1. A review on biotechnological applications of microalgae.
2. Microbial colors: The new generation additives 3. Alleviation of salinity stress by microbes
4. Biodegradation of azo dyes by microbes 5. In recent days, why all are interested on endophytes 6. Mycoremediation with reference to heavy metals 7. Significance of microbial diversity in maintenance of ecosystem 8. Fungal diversity in Western Ghats of Karnataka 9. Bioactive compounds from marine microorganisms
10. Metal uptake and sequestration, dynamics in chelate mediated phytoremediation, and
11. Phytoremediation by microbes.
I am confident that the book will be widely accepted by all the students, teachers and researchers in the field of Microbiology, Microalgae, Microbial diversity, Mycoremediation and Microbial Bioremediation.
