Finally, the book describes the biocontrol aspects of actinobacteria and how they can control fungal phytopathogens and the production of secondary metabolites.
- Includes an overview of all types of actinobacteria, source and enzymatic activity
- Lists various bioengineering methods for the production of these enzymes
- Reviews numerous industrial applications of actinobacteria, i.e., crop improvement, removal of heavy metals, etc.
- Offers unique coverage of the application of actinobacteria in bioremediation processes
- Explores the plant growth promoting potential of endophytic actinobacteria
- Describes biosynthetic potential genes associated with actinobacterial genome
Researchers and students in biotechnology, biochemical engineering, chemistry/biochemistry in academia, government labs and corporate labs and provides new ideas to the upcoming research students about various biological applications of Kingdom actinobacteria
