Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Prologue. 2. Historical perspective. 3. Research approach. 4. Biology of medicinal mushrooms. Epilogue. Bibliography. Appendices. Index. India with its diverse habitats and ecosystems is a treasure house of biodiversity. The North-West Himalayan region is particularly rich in wild mushrooms. During the last few decades significant advances have been made in the study of medicinal mushrooms biology and in their cultivation. This book is an attempt to compile all the relevant information on five medicinal mushrooms (Cordyceps militaris, Ganoderma lucidum, Sparassis crispa, Morchella esculenta and Lentinus edodes) collected from North West Himalayan region of H.P. This book contains 6 chapters starting with the prologue and historical perspective and it provides original information on the procedures followed and observations on classical and molecular systematics, physiology, antibacterial potential, antioxidant potential and artificial cultivation of the collected mushroom species.

Microorganisms are a group of innate microbial consortium that inhabits the soil as well as surfaces (inside and outside) of all living organisms. The exploration of microbial diversity has been spurred by the fact that microbes are essential for the biosphere. They have the potentiality in biodegradation, bioremediation, nitrogen fixation, improving soil fertility, production of plant growth hormones, nutraceuticals, industrially important enzymes and biofuels. Dozens of industrial products are currently being formulated in large quantity from petrochemicals, such as ethanol, organic acids and amino acids, are equally obtainable through microbial fermentation. The book is prepared by extracting fundamental concepts and meanings from ever growing field of the role of microbes in sustainable development. The objective of this book is to cover comprehensively different groups of microorganisms and their roles in sustainable agriculture, ecosystem and industries. This book is organized into 13 chapters. The authors have made an attempt to foresight some of the innovative applications of various microbes in current scenario and their involvement for sustainable development in coming decades. The book will be of great help to students and researchers pursuing career in the field of Microbiology. (jacket).
