Microbial applications encompass areas including biotechnology chemical engineering and
alternative fuel development. Research on their technological developments cover many aspects
of work using microbes as cell factories. The fields of biotechnology chemical engineering
pharmaceuticals diagnostics and medical device development also employ these microbial
products. There is an urgent need to integrate all these disciplines that caters to the need of
all those who are interested to work in the area of microbial technologies. This book is a step
forward to integrate the aforesaid frontline branches into an interdisciplinary research work
quenching the academic as well as research thirst of all those concerned about microbes in the
respective area of biotechnology chemical engineering and pharmaceuticals. All the chapters
in this book are related to important research on microbial applications written by
international specialists for researchers and academics in the concerned disciplines. This
publication aims to provide a detailed compendium of experimental work and information used to
investigate different aspects of microbial technologies their products as well as
interdisciplinary interactions including biochemistry of metabolites in a manner that reflects
the recent developments of relevance to researchers scientists investigating microbes.
