O knihe

This book explores advanced biotechnologies addressing environmental and industrial challenges. It bridges the gap between scientific innovation and practical implementation, showcasing how microbial, nano-biotechnological and biochemical advancements can drive sustainability across agriculture, industry, and environmental remediation. This book opens with a focus on soil health, highlighting biochar-based fertilizers and microbial interventions to rejuvenate degraded soils, enhance crop productivity, and reduce chemical dependency. It then transitions to pollution control, featuring microbial biosurfactants and CRISPR-engineered microbes for pollutant cleanup, nanotechnology-driven wastewater treatment and innovative strategies for radioactive waste management. Industrial applications are equally emphasized, with chapters on antimicrobial food packaging to combat spoilage and microbial carotenoids for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries

This volume of Microorganisms for Sustainability book series is a vital resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. It underscores biotechnology’s role in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in climate action (SDG 13), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). By addressing both traditional and emerging fields—such as nano-biotechnology and microbial engineering—the book fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and inspires scalable, eco-conscious solutions for a resource-constrained world.
