Titre(s) : Microbes and microbial technology [Texte électronique] : agricultural and environmental applications / Iqbal Ahmad, Farah Ahmad, John Pichtel, editors
Publication : New York, NY : Springer, cop. 2011
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Awareness of the role of microbes and microbial biotechnology in improving the quality
of life has been recognized worldwide. Today, what is needed is an exploration of
new microbes and novel genes for solving some of the major challenges of the 21st
century with particular reference to sustainable agriculture, the environment and
human health. This book addresses applied microbiology and microbial technology, and
serves as an overview of recent advances in the field. It includes microbial diversity
exploration and detection of microbial pathogens in food, concepts and applications
of microbial biofilms, genetic exchange in bacterial populations in the natural environment,
classical and modern techniques for studying and tracking plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria,
bioremediation of contaminated soil and water using microbial surfactants, bioaugmentation-assisted
phytoremediation, and degradation of agricultural pesticides by soil bacteria. Biosorption
of common heavy metals by microbial biomass, recent trends in the role of baculoviruses
and fungal-based agents in controlling plant pests and disease, and production technology
of mycorrhizal fungi are addressed in depth. Trends in new frontiers of microbiology
such as quorum sensing, biosensors, nanobiotechnology and probiotics are also covered
