Application of Microbes in Environmental and Microbial Biotechnology

This comprehensive edited book on microbial prospective discusses the  innovative approaches and investigation strategies, as well as provides a  broad spectrum of the cutting-edge research on the processing,  properties and technological developments of microbial products and  their applications. Microbes finds very important applications in our  lives including industries and food processing. They are widely used in  the fermentation of beverages, processing of dairy products, production  of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, enzymes, proteins and biomaterials;  conversion of biomass into fuel, fuel cell technology, health and  environmental sectors.  Some of these products are produced  commercially, while others are potentially valuable in biotechnology.  Microorganisms are considered invaluable in research as model organisms.  This is a useful compilation for students and researchers in  microbiology, biotechnology and chemical industries.
