RECENT TRENDS IN MODERN MICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY

Microbial biotechnology is known as any technological application that uses microbiological systems, microbial organisms or their derivatives, to manufacture or modify products or processes for specific use. Understanding the utilization of microorganisms and microbial biotechnology in improving the quality of life has been recognized at global. Now days, what is urgently required is a searching of new microbes and novel genes for solving some of the major challenges of recent years with particular reference to sustainable agriculture, the environment and human health. Hence, it is realized that a book dealing microbial technology must be made available to meet the critical gap in applied microbiology and microbial technology for students, researchers and technology development professionals. The book covers a broad area which includes microbial concrete production, applications of nanotechnology in food microbiology, microbial technology of biofertilizer, Probiotics for Oral health, microbial surfactants and its potential application, Regulation of circadian rhythm by gut microflora.
