Von der hinteren Coverseite

There is an urgent need to explore eco-friendly and sustainable approaches to healthcare, agriculture, and environmental contamination management. The use of microbes or microbial products appear as a suitable alternative to manage the current challenges of healthcare issues, chemical pesticides, and environmental contamination.

Focusing on these factors, in 17 chapters, Microbial Biomolecules explores and compiles new aspects of microbial based biomolecules such as microbial enzymes, microbial metabolites, microbial surfactants, exopolysaccharides, and bioactive compounds, synthesized from microbes and their potential applications in the field of health-related issues, sustainable agriculture, and environment contamination management.

Written for researchers, scientists, graduate and PhD students in the areas of Microbiology, Biotechnology, Environmental Science and Pharmacology.
