Microbial Bioprocesses: Applications and Perspectives aims to give an overview of established and successful processes and discusses the trends and perspectives in industrial microbiology which, along with tremendous progress in genetic and metabolic engineering in recent years, are once again becoming an area of innovation and emerging technologies. The book covers unique areas of biotechnology, such as microbial volatiles (MVOCs), microbial bioinoculant development, bacterial nanocelluloses production, and processes for remediation by fungi and actinobacteria. As microbial processes are involved in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, energy and new-material industries, this book highlights important aspects of industrial microbiology. Over the past two decades, new or more efficient industrial processes involving microorganisms have been launched, yielding purer, less expensive products or substances not available using classical chemical methods. Provides an innovative description of emerging bioprocesses for biotechnological gains Presents a broad cross section of microbial bioprocess that covers several sustainability applications Gives general insights about how microorganisms can be utilized in production of various chemicals INDICE: 1. Applications of Mycorrhizal Fungi in Agriculture and Forestry2. Microbial volatiles as new players for sustainable agriculture3.
