Anotace knihy

Microorganisms and their biosynthetic capabilities have solved several difficult problems in the welfare of mankind. Various fields in which microorganisms have helped mankind include medical technology, human and animal health, food processing, food safety and quality, genetic engineering, environmental protection, agricultural biotechnology and more effective treatment of agriculture, and municipal and industrial waste treatment, which provide a most impressive record of achievements. Most of these technological advancements would not have been possible using conventional straightforward chemical and physical engineering methods, or if they were, they would not have been practically or economically feasible and might cause environmental pollution problems. For many years, soil microbiologists and microbial ecologists have differentiated soil microbes as beneficial, harmful or natural according to their function, and how they affect soil quality, plant growth and yield and plant health. Beneficial microorganisms are those that can fix atmospheric nitrogen, decomposes organic waste and residue, detoxify pesticides, suppress plant diseases and soil-borne pathogens, enhance nutrient cycling and produce bioactive compounds such as vitamins, hormones and enzymes that stimulate plant growth. Harmful microorganisms are those that can induce plant disease, stimulate soil borne pathogens, immobilize nutrients and produce toxic and putrescent substances that adversely affect plant growth and health. Beneficial naturally occurring microorganisms can be utilized as inoculants to increase the microbial diversity of soil and plants. The conceptual designs are important in developing new technologies for utilizing beneficial and effective microorganisms for a more sustainable agriculture and production of useful bioactive compounds. An idealized system based on this should maintain and improve human health, be economically beneficial to both producers and consumers, actively protect the environment, be self contained and regenerative and produce enough food for ever increasing world population on a long term and sustainable basis. This book is aimed at reviewing the recent developments in understanding the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology.
