Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book addresses the diversity of tropical microorganisms and its applications in agriculture, renewable energy production and environmental protection. It covers several tropical habitats such as rain forests, mangroves, sea and river waters and describes how microorganisms isolated from these regions can be used to control insects and plant diseases, to improve sugar cane and biofuels production among other applications. The book also aims to bring researchers’ attention to the potential of tropical microorganisms for biotechnological purposes, an area that is still far from being well explored.
Caracteristici
Deals with the diversity and applications of microorganisms obtained from some few explored tropical world areas as forests, mangroves, sea and other water environments
The importance of tropical energy sources substituting petrol based on microbes is a point focused in some chapters as well the use of microbial genes to develop transgenic plants for several purposes
Presents a huge range of potential applications of microorganisms in tropical agriculture
Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
