Microbial Alchemy

  • 1st Edition
  • January 1, 2026
  • Raghvendra Pratap Singh + 5 more
  • English
"Microbial Alchemy" offers an interdisciplinary exploration of microorganisms, their chemical properties, and their ability to transform substances through metabolic processes and synthesize them into bioproducts of commercial value and sustainable application. The book opens with an introduction to microbial alchemy. It considers specific metabolites, pathways, enzymes, drugs, or microbial genes and analysis of the chemistry produced by microbes that influence on eco-enterprising strategies and explores the bioprospecting of an array of microbial metabolic products and their applications in healthcare, nutrition, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and industrial development.

  • English
"Nanodiagnostics to Identify and Detect Microbial Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance" offers a comprehensive understanding of the global problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and provides insights into the various aspects of AMR and how nanodiagnostics can be utilized to combat it. The book is the first of two volumes that make up "Nanotheranostics, Microbial Infections, and Antimicrobial Resistance." Volume 1 discusses how the development of nanotechnologies has been applied for the detection and diagnosis of microbial resistant pathogens. It explores a range of nano-inspired diagnostics, such as biosensors, microfluidic-assisted devices, nanorobotics, nanocapsules, and others, aimed at identifying and early detection of antimicrobial resistance. With contributions from expert in the field, "Nanodiagnostics to Identify and Detect Microbial Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance" is a helpful resource for researchers, academics, graduate students, industry professionals, and clinicians in microbiology, nanotechnology, and infectious diseases.

Environmental Microbiology

  • 4th Edition
  • September 1, 2025
  • Ian Pepper + 3 more
  • English
Environmental Microbiology 4e is the revised edition of a key, foundational text for the field of environmental microbiology which hits all the pillars of the field and takes into account the tremendous advances in environmental microbiology over past decade. It provides comprehensive information on traditional methodologies utilized to study environmental microbes, as well as state-of-the-art technologies. Emphasis is placed on molecular and bio-informatic approaches to the study of environmental microbes, including nucleic acid and ‘omic methodologies.  The book is divided into seven parts that stretch across microbiology concepts, microbial environments, microbial methods and technologies, microbial transport, biogeochemistry, and bioremediation, water and foodborne pathogens, wastewater treatment and distribution, and urban microbiology.  1) “Environmental Microbiology” is the study of microbes within all habitats, and their beneficial and detrimental impacts on human health and welfare. This book illustrates the significance of environmental microbes in our daily lives in terms of not only the overall health of the planet, but also: what infects us; what heals us; what we drink; what we eat; and what we breathe.

Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2025
  • Sukhendu Mandal + 1 more
  • English
New hybrid technologies with algae, bacteria and chemical agents are being developed for sustainable wastewater treatment (WWT) processes. This book focuses on the latest developments in Microbial Electrochemical Systems, highlights major challenges in large scale operation, and presents the future scope of these techniques to make treatment processes more sustainable. Wastewater treatment is a longstanding challenge faced in every region across the globe. With increasing urbanization and more intensive agriculture the level of contaminants as well as the types of pollutants in wastewater continue to increase. Excessive use of detergents soaps, cleansing agents with new formulations, chemical fertilizers and pesticides have all added to the problem. Conventional methods of wastewater treatment were successful to some extent to decontaminate the water, but these techniques require longer times and more input of energy. Microbial electrochemical systems (MES) aid the sustainability of wastewater treatment (WWT) process.
