Bioprospecting of Microbial Diversity: Challenges and Applications in Biochemical Industry, Agriculture and Environment Protection gives a detailed insight into the utilization of microorganisms or microorganism-based bioactive compounds for the development of sustainable approaches, covering recent advances and challenges in the production and recovery of bioactive compounds such as enzymes, biopesticides, biofertilizers, biosensors, therapeutics, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. The challenges associated with the different approaches of microbial bioprospecting along with possible solutions to overcome these limitations are addressed. Further, the application of microbe-based products in the area of environmental pollution control and developing greener technologies are discussed. Providing valuable insight into the basics of microbial prospecting, the book covers established knowledge as well as genomic-based technological advancements to offer a better understanding of its application to various industries, promoting the commercialization of microbial-derived bioactive compounds and their application in biochemical industries, agriculture, and environmental protection studies.

Prof. Pradeep Verma is a group leader of Bioprocess and Bioenergy Laboratory at the Department of Microbiology, School of Life Sciences, CURAJ. His area of expertise covers microbial diversity, bioremediation, bioprocess development, and lignocellulosic and algal biomass-based biorefinery. He also holds 12 international patents in the field of microwave-assisted biomass pretreatment and biobutanol production. He has more than 60 research articles in peer-reviewed international journals and contributed to several book chapters (28 published; 15 in press) in various edited books. He has also edited 3 books for international publishers such as Springer and Elsevier. He is on the editorial board of several prestigious journals. Also, he has been a reviewer for more than 40 journals spanning several publishers such as Springer, Elsevier, RSC, ACS, Nature, Frontiers, and MDPI. Dr. Maulin P. Shah is an active researcher and scientific writer in his field for over 20 years. He received a B.Sc. degree (1999) in Microbiology from Gujarat University, Godhra (Gujarat), India. He also earned his Ph.D. degree (2005) in Environmental Microbiology from Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar (Gujarat) India. His research interests include Biological Wastewater Treatment, Environmental Microbiology, Biodegradation, Bioremediation, & Phytoremediation of Environmental Pollutants from Industrial Wastewaters. He has published more than 250 research papers in national and international journals of repute on various aspects of microbial biodegradation and bioremediation of environmental pollutants. He is the editor of 200 books of international repute (Elsevier, RSC, Nova Sciences, De Gruyter, Springer, Wiley, IOP and CRC Press).
