Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture
Volume 1
edited by Ramesh C. Ray

Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture covers a wide array of subjects:

• from biofertilizers to biological control of pests and diseases
• from biological N 2 -fixation to lignocellulose degradation
• from production of biomass and biofuels to genetically engineered plants
• biofilms
• bioprocessing of biomaterials
• application of biofertilizers
• probiotics
• bio-remediation of contaminated water
• and more!

Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture highlights the significant aspects of the vast subject area.
