Les Fermentations Alcoolique Et Lactique (Omn.Univ.Europ.)
by Essia Ngang-J
This review of recent developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology covers a research area with enormous untapped potential. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other agricultural inputs derived from fossil fuels have increased agricultural production, yet growing awareness and concern over their adverse effects on soil productivity and environmental quality cannot be ignored. The high cost of these products, the difficulties...

Drinking Water Safety and Contamination (Issues in Toxicology)
For the past 150 years, countries around the World have endeavoured to provide pure and wholesome drinking water for their population. The use of chlorine to disinfect water about 100 years ago led to a marked decrease in deaths from microbiological contamination. However, continual advances in industrial and agricultural processes has led to a continuing need to analyse water for chemicals and microbiologicals and assess their risk to health. This book reviews recent information on potential co...

Prokaryotic Symbionts in Plants (Microbiology Monographs, #8)
by Katharina Pawlowski
Endophytic prokaryotes can invade the tissue of the host plant without triggering defense reactions or disease symptoms. Instead, they promote the growth of the host plant due to their ability to fix atmospheric dinitrogen and/or to produce plant growth-promoting substances. This Microbiology Monographs volume presents up-to-date findings on the interactions between plants and beneficial prokaryotes, including the use of genomics for the analysis of plant-prokaryote symbioses and their evolution...
Fungi of Antarctica
This book focuses on the fungi found in one of the most pristine regions on Earth: Antarctica. It discusses the fungal occurrence in all substrates of the region, including soil, seawater, lake and marine sediments, rocks, ice, and snow. It also addresses the impact of climate changes on these organisms, the genomic techniques developed to study them, and how a number of compounds, such as antibiotics and enzymes, produced by the Antarctic fungi can be used in medicine, agriculture and the chemi...
