3) AIR MICROBIOLOGY

About the book

This book of Air Microbiology: An Environment and Health Perspective is at present the only one solely devoted to Air microbiology. Air is an important component of life. It is well known fact that life cannot exist without air. Considering the importance of air and weight of the fact that very scare or little information/literature is available an attempt has been made to give comprehensive and exhaustive information regarding all the aspects of Air Microbiology. This book covers all the important aspects of air microbiology which is essentially a part of study in Microbiology, Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology, Environmental scientists and Engineers, Researchers in various fields, Health professional and students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. All current topics on air are covered in detail to meet the requirements of UG and PG students. We have paid special attention and have taken exceptional efforts to cover all basic areas of Air Microbiology like Physical, Chemical and Microbiological aspects of air, Air Pollution, Enumeration and Control of microorganisms from air. The books also explains various advanced topics like Biological warfare, Exobiology, Gnotobiotics and Plant Disease forecasting. This book will be a good reference book for all Life Science students including those persuing studies in Medical and Environmental Engineering. This book will be a useful test book as well as reference book in life sciences and medical sciences. Key feature of this book are: Easy to understand, Concise text in simple and lucid language, attractive and easy to understand with plenty of self explanatory figures, flowcharts and tables, giving up to date knowledge regarding the subject.

2) MICROBIAL CATABOLISM - A Review

About the Book

This book contains 100 pathways for microbial catabolic metabolism of primarily xenobiotic organic compounds. It includes information on most known microbial catabolic reaction types and the organic functional groups they transform. The purpose of this book is to provide a thorough overview of research and developments being carried out in the field of microbial degradation of xenobiotics compounds which are causing harm to the global environment and human race in general. This book also aims in creating an interest amongst diligent readers who may find new avenues for research. Each section provides an overview of a metabolic pathway of a particular compound that is a central component of the human use in a particular area. Due to its organization, the handbook can be used as a reference book by researchers of related field and can be read for individual sections or chapters. This compilation can also be used as a book for advanced courses in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental sciences, Enzymology and Metabolic engineering.

1) POLLUTION CONTROL BY MICROORGANISMS– Bioremediation, Biocontrol and Other Emerging Technologies

ABOUT THE BOOK

This book presents an authoritive explanation and discussions of wide range of problems, in three sections, related to the environment, at a level suitable for the students and practitioners of science, engineering, administration and planning. This book will be of particular importance for the increasing number of teachers and students involved in the degree and diploma courses in environmental science. This book begins with a section on Bioremediation which provides a clear understanding how microbes, following their degradative processes, contribute maximally to the benefit of mankind through biotransformations of waste materials. The second section on biocontrol discusses the meeting of the major exponents in the scientific community working with enhancing different biological control agents (Fungi, Bacteria, Virus) on different targets (Pathogens, Insects, Weeds). The final section introduces the reader with emerging technologies like Microorganisms as indicators of pollution, Chemotaxis and its role in combating pollution, Microbial activity under electric fields for bioremediation and the most advanced technique of Biogranulation.
