This book describes various aspects of modern microbiology including microbial enzymes, secondary metabolites, next-generation sequencing, microbial-based biopesticides, microbial-based cancer therapies, biodiesel, and microbial products from fermentation, biodegradation, bioremediation and wastewater treatment. Further, it explains how and why microbes play an important role in preserving the welfare of living beings and the environment. Many bacteria play a significant part in cleaning our environment by detoxifying various xenobiotic compounds, while several microbes produce secondary metabolites that are useful to human beings. The book is divided into 15 chapters that cover various aspects of microorganism-based biotechnology, including recent methodologies such as advanced molecular techniques, as well developments in classical microbiological techniques. The authors also explain how the latest and classical techniques are being used in modern-daymicrobial biotechnology. All chapters were written by experts from prominent universities, research laboratories, and institutes around the globe. Above all, they focus on recent advances in microbial technology that promote the welfare of living beings and the environment.

Bioactive compounds produced by natural sources, such as plants, microbes, endophytic fungi, etc., can potentially be applied in various fields, including agriculture, biotechnology and biomedicine. Several bioactive compounds have proved to be invaluable in mediating plant-microbe interactions, and promoting plant growth and development. Due to their numerous health-promoting properties, these compounds have been widely used as a source of medication since ancient times. However, there is an unprecedented need to meet the growing demand for natural bioactive compounds in the flavor and fragrance, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Moreover, discovering new lead molecules from natural sources is essential to overcoming the rising number of new diseases. In this regard, natural bioactive compounds hold tremendous potential for new drug discovery. Therefore, this field of research has become a vital area for researchers interested in understanding the chemistry,biosynthetic mechanisms, and pharmacological activities of these bioactive metabolites. This book describes the basics of bioactive plant compounds, their chemical properties, and their pharmacological biotechnological properties with regard to various human diseases and applications in the drug, cosmetics and herbal industries. It offers a valuable asset for all students, educators, researchers, and healthcare experts involved in agronomy, ecology, crop science, molecular biology, stress physiology, and natural products.

This book will provide useful insights into methods and practices of ΓÇÿClimate-smart AgricultureΓÇÖ which is driven by the principles of climate resilience and smart resource use in agricultural production. Climate-smart agriculture is a key policy instrument to achieve poverty eradication, hunger-free world, and curb the effects of climate change. This book aims to discuss in detail about climate-smart agricultural technologies and practices that reduces the vulnerabilities of agricultural systems, improves the livelihood of the farmers and other stakeholders and also reduces the greenhouse gas emissions from crop production and livestock husbandry.Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector contributes about 10ΓÇô12 gigaton of CO2-equivalent per year; therefore sustainable practices for agriculture and related land use have immense potential to mitigate climate change. The potential impacts of climate variability and climate change on agriculture are extensively documented and articulated prominently within Global and National environmental agenda warranting innovation, transformation and climate-resilient trajectory in agriculture. Climate-smart Agriculture is an excellent tool  to upscale agricultural output to feed the growing global population; to mitigate greenhouse gases emissions from agriculture and other land use; to adapt the agricultural production system against impending dangers of climate change.
