Industrial Applications of Soil Microbes: Volume 4
Industrial Applications of Soil Microbes is a compilation of reviews on the industrial usage of soil microorganisms. Readers will be updated about recent applications of soil bacteria fungi and viruses in sectors such as agriculture biotechnology environmental management.
Volume 4 includes review on mycorrhizal fungi endophytes and a range of microbial chemicals and processes beneficuall at industrial scale. The 19 chapters start with an overview of mycorrhizae as biofertilizers their symbiosis with plants and their applications in improving crop yield stress management and soil health. Case studies on Lycopersicon esculentum highlight practical benefits. Soil microbes endophytes and microbial proteases are discussed for their role in biocontrol disease management and crop improvement. The volume also explores eco-friendly nematicides viruses in temperate fruit crops mushrooms' nutritional value and metagenomics for bioinoculants. Overall the volume emphasizes sustainable practices and future prospects involving microbes and microbe-assisted processes.
Industrial Applications of Soil Microbes: Volume 3
This volume is a compilation of reviews on the industrial usage of soil microorganisms. The contents include 16 brief reviews on different soil microbe assisted industrial processes. Readers will be updated about recent applications of soil bacteria fungi and algae in sectors such as agriculture biotechnology environmental management.
The reviews also cover special topics like sustainable agriculture biodiversity ecology and intellectual property rights of patented strains giving a broad perspective on industrial applications of soil microbes.
Volume 3 emphasizes various soil microorganisms including cyanobacteria and mycorrhiza. The 16 chapters cover the ecological significance of mycorrhiza to and their role in sustainable agriculture microbial interactions with nematodes microbes as biocontrol agents and the use of endophytes in agriculture Chapters also shed light on industrial aspects and microbial biotransformation providing a comprehensive view of sustainable agricultural practices. Special topics such as the microbial carotenoids are also included.
