Advanced Microbial Technology for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment: A Comprehensive Guide

By author Saurabh Gangola, this book delves into the realm of plant-microbe interactions, exploring the intricate relationships between microorganisms and their environment. With a focus on bioremediation and plant growth promotion, this comprehensive resource provides readers with valuable insights into cutting-edge approaches such as genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.

The Impact of Human Activities on Microbial Diversity

The frequent application of potentially toxic chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers, and increased industrialization processes pose a significant threat to microbial biodiversity in ecosystems. This book highlights the risks associated with these activities and the importance of adopting sustainable practices to safeguard the environment.

Understanding Microbial Biodegradation and Remediation Mechanisms

Gain a deeper understanding of the genetics of microbial biodegradation and various remediation mechanisms that help re-establish a healthy natural environment. This book provides a systematic overview of the role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in bioremediation, selection, and preparation of potential PGPR microbial inoculum for bioremediation, biodegradation, and plant growth promotion.

Emerging Approaches in PGPR-Based Biodegradation

Discover the importance of PGPR in the bioremediation of hazardous and novel compounds, while maintaining sustainable agricultural productivity. This book illustrates novel approaches to PGPR-based biodegradation of toxic compounds, highlighting key developments and challenges associated with these processes.

Why This Book Matters

Advanced Microbial Technology for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment serves as a valuable resource for readers seeking sustainable solutions for environmental cleanup and increased agricultural productivity. With its comprehensive coverage of PGPR developments and bioremediation potential, this book is an essential reference for researchers, scientists, and policymakers working towards a sustainable future.
