Infos

This book discusses the applications of nanotechnology in clinical microbiology, food microbiology, and green solutions of nanoparticles using microorganisms for a range of benefits. It describes nanotechnology's rapid progress in the development of materials used in industry, medicine, drug delivery, and dentistry. The authors further explore how microbiology and nanotechnology separately have proven to be effective for human health solutions keeping an ecological and environmental balance. Domains covered include environmental microbiology, medical microbiology, food microbiology (to control food spoilage), biosynthesis of nanomaterials using microorganisms, water microbiology, nanofluidic devices for isolation and analysis of individual biomolecules such as DNA that can lead to a new detection scheme for cancer, and various fields such as pharmacy, clinical research, agriculture etc. This book will be essential  reading to a wide range of scholars and researchers interested in microbiology along with nanotechnology applications for efficient solutions to cancer detection, biosensors, vaccines research,  agriculture, wastewater management etc.

Prof. Ramesh S. Chaughule has completed his PhD at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India, a pioneer institute in India, and continued his research until his retirement. Also, he graduated in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Maharashtra Academy of Sciences and also an executive committee member of this academy.
