Om denne e-boken

This book covers recent advances in cyanobacterial research. It deals with diversity, evolutionary biology, stress physiology, molecular biology of stress responses, and biotechnology of this group of prokaryotes. Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous and, undoubtedly, agriculturally microorganisms in terms of carbon and nitrogen fixation. In addition, cyanobacteria have long been used to fertilize crops and are a source of protein for humans. In parallel with the advances in cyanobacterial research in the 21st century, the development and application of innovative techniques in molecular biotechnology has widened the spectrum of commercial applications and potential exploitation of cyanobacteria. This book will be of interest to both new and experienced researchers involved in cyanobacterial molecular biology, ecology, and industrial biotechnology. This collection of chapters from experts also serves as essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students of to understand the importance of cyanobacteria in agriculture, ecology, microbial physiology, and environmental sciences.

Om forfatteren

Prof. Neilan is a molecular biologist who studies microbes and their chemistries, including the genetics of toxic cyanobacteria. The research has led to an understanding of the biochemical pathways responsible for producing their toxins. He also studies natural microbial products from novel environments, including symbioses, and the mechanisms of complex biosynthesis of these bioactive compounds.

Prof. Passarini's research areas are microbial ecology and microbial bioprospecting of extreme environments in the search for enzymes and metabolites of industrial interest applicable to the production of biofuel and degradation processes of environmental pollutants, as well as Metagenomic and metabarcoding.

Dr Singh is currently working at the Department of Biotechnology, Mizoram University, PUC campus, India. His research focuses on plant and cyanobacterial stress biology around the omics approaches.

Dr Kumar is a microbiologist, and his research area includes microbiome, postharvest management, microbial biocontrol, plant-microbe Interactions, Cyanobacteria research and endophytes.
