Genomics Applications for the Developing World

Genomics Applications for the Developing World by Karen E. Nelson, Barbara Jones-Nelson
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 362 Pages | ISBN : 1461421810 | 5.5 MB

This book evolved from the editors strong belief that the information and new developments that were evolving from the rapidly growing field of genomics and that are happening primarily in the developed world have not happened at a parallel rate in the developing world. One would have hoped that by now the technologies and approaches would have been adapted on a far greater scale. In addition to this, the associated information is not always easily accessible, and is not disseminated in a format that can become a useful reference for scientists, students and others who reside in developing countries.

Principles of Microbial Metabolism and Metabolic Ecology

Principles of Microbial Metabolism and Metabolic Ecology by Alfred M. Spormann
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 344 Pages | ISBN : 3031282175 | 62.4 MB

This textbook examines the fundamental principles of microbial metabolism and how a microbe's ecology is intrinsically interwoven with and a consequence of its metabolism. Further, it answers many questions frequently asked by students, such as: What are the mechanistic connections between simple phenotypic traits, ecological patterns and microbial metabolism and diversity? In the process, readers will be introduced to essential topics like metabolism and metabolic pathways, flux of energy and nutrients, genome size and fitness, competition, selection and drift.

Astronomical Origins of Life: Steps Towards Panspermia

Astronomical Origins of Life: Steps Towards Panspermia by F. Hoyle, N. C. Wickramasinghe
English | PDF | 2000 | 361 Pages | ISBN : 0792360818 | 31.6 MB

Living material contains about twenty different sorts of atom combined into a set of relatively simple molecules. Astrobiologists tend to believe that abiotic mater­ ial will give rise to life in any place where these molecules exist in appreciable abundances and where physical conditions approximate to those occurring here on Earth. We think this popular view is wrong, for it is not the existence of the building blocks of life that is crucial but the exceedingly complicated structures in which they are arranged in living forms. The probability of arriving at biologically significant arrangements is so very small that only by calling on the resources of the whole universe does there seem to be any possibility of life originating, a conclusion that requires life on the Earth to be a minute component of a universal system.

Climate Change and Microbiome Dynamics: Carbon Cycle Feedbacks

Climate Change and Microbiome Dynamics: Carbon Cycle Feedbacks by Javid Ahmad Parray
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 381 Pages | ISBN : 3031210786 | 37.3 MB

The book provides an overview relevant to various biological mechanisms that regulate carbon exchanges between the major components and their response to climate change. Climate change has a significant impact on people's lives, energy demand, food security, etc. The soil microbial ecology is vital for assessing terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles and climate feedback. However, the primary concern is the complexity of the soil microbial community and its severely affected functions due to the climate and other global changes. Global warming comprises an assessment of the dynamic interactions and feedback between microbes, plants, and their physical environment due to climate change.

Rhizosphere Microbes: Biotic Stress Management

Rhizosphere Microbes: Biotic Stress Management by Udai B. Singh, Pramod K. Sahu, Harsh V. Singh, Pawan K. Sharma, Sushil K. Sharma
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 378 Pages | ISBN : 9811958718 | 23.6 MB

This edited book volume aims to bringing out a comprehensive collection of latest information and developments on the management of biotic stresses by the use of rhizospheric microbes across the globe. The main focus of this book is to address the scientific and practical significance of rhizosphere microbes in biotic stress management. The microbial communities in the rhizosphere ecosystem play multitude of microbe-microbe, microbe-insect/pest and plant-microbe interactions and they have not yet been fully exploited to gain benefits in this field as well as to achieve sustainability in agriculture. Among the more recent strategies, stress tolerance/resistance induced by environment-friendly elicitors of microbial origin and/or rhizosphere microorganisms has emerged as a promising supplement in the approaches to crop protection.

Survival Strategies in Cold-adapted Microorganisms

Survival Strategies in Cold-adapted Microorganisms by Reeta Goel, Ravindra Soni, Deep Chandra Suyal, Mahejibin Khan
English | EPUB | 2022 | 435 Pages | ISBN : 9811626243 | 15.6 MB

Extremophiles have unique physiological properties, thus considered to be ideal candidates for industrial development. This book present concepts on cold-adapted microorganisms, centered on four different aspects - (i) diversity of cold adapted microbes (ii) their ecology, physiology and metabolism (iii) omics research in the field and (iv) their potential applications.
This volume collates the recent developments and innovations with respect to these microorganisms. This book is meant for researchers, biochemists, industries, and government agencies interested in cold active microbes and their products. Also, would be of interest to NGOs and progressive farmers which are working for higher altitude ecosystems throughout the globe.

Microbial Cross-talk in the Rhizosphere

Microbial Cross-talk in the Rhizosphere by Benjamin A. Horwitz
English | EPUB | 2022 | 337 Pages | ISBN : 9811695067 | 19.6 MB

This book addresses a very important aspect of microbial ecology that has direct relevance to crop productivity. The soil zone under the direct influence of roots, or rhizosphere, is known for very intense microbial activities that include interactions with plants and other organisms. Many a times, these interactions are very specific and dictated by exchange of signaling molecules, broadly known as the cross-talk. This book covers our recent understanding of the mechanisms of plant-microbe cross-talk in the rhizosphere. In addition, it delves into the subject of how such interactions can influence plant health.

Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and Archaea

Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and Archaea by Larry L. Barton
English | EPUB | 2022 | 570 Pages | ISBN : 3030967018 | 27.7 MB

The abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria and archaea (SRBA) is impressive and new isolates are being reported continuously. A few decades ago, only two genera of dissimilatory sulfate reducers had been identified and as of 2018, 92 genera containing more than 420 species of SRB and several species of archaea have been isolated.

Microbial Metabolism of Metals and Metalloids

Microbial Metabolism of Metals and Metalloids by Christon J. Hurst
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 671 Pages | ISBN : 3030971848 | 71.5 MB

This book explains the metabolic processes by which microbes obtain and control the intracellular availability of their required metal and metalloid ions. The book also describes how intracellular concentrations of unwanted metal and metalloid ions successfully are limited. Its authors additionally provide information about the ways that microbes derive metabolic energy by changing the charge states of metal and metalloid ions.

Plant, Soil and Microbes in Tropical Ecosystems

Plant, Soil and Microbes in Tropical Ecosystems by Suresh Kumar Dubey
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 397 Pages | ISBN : 9811633630 | 49.5 MB

This book describes the multitude of interactions between plant, soil, and micro-organisms. It emphasizes on how growth and development in plants, starting from seed germination, is heavily influenced by the soil type. It describes the interactions established by plants with soil and inhabitant microbial community. The chapters describe how plants selectively promote certain microorganisms in the rhizospheric ecozone to derive multifarious benefits such as nutrient acquisition and protection from diseases. The diversity of these rhizospheric microbes and their interactions with plants largely depend on plant genotype, soils attributes, and several abiotic and biotic factors.
