Advances in Agricultural and Industrial Microbiology

This book embodies chapters pertaining to microbial diversity and technology developed for its application in the agroindustry. It facilitates state of the art and microbial research in the realm of bioprocess and fermentation technology, production of PHAs, microbial lipids, dairy products, development of nutraceuticals, biocatalyst bioprospecting through metagenomics, utilization of agro-waste for production of microbial pigments, waste bioremediation of fish industry, drugs from macrofungi and a step ahead of technology on plant secondary metabolites detection through biosensing approaches. The potential characteristic of microbes from various environments has also been discussed vividly for application in the agroindustry. The editors focused on making it a useful resource for soil microbiologists, agricultural scientists, policymakers, industrial microbiologists concerned with developing agriculture and agroindustry
