Microorganisms have made significant and beneficial contributions to various areas of human health, food preservation and production, biotechnology, industry, environmental clean-up, and sustainable agriculture. In the book "Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture," a team of distinguished researchers delves into the positive aspects of bacteria and other microbes. The book explores the important roles played by microorganisms in human health, food production, industrial applications, bioremediation, and sustainable agriculture.

Divided into five sections, "Good Microbes" examines the utilization of microorganisms and the microbiome in human health, food production, industrial processes, bioremediation, and sustainable agriculture. Coverage spans from food allergies, skin disorders, microbial food preservation and fermentation of various beverages and food products, to an ethnical perspective on the beneficial use of microbes in biotechnology, industry, bioeconomy, environmental remediation, such as resource recovery, microbial-based environmental clean-up, plant-microbe interactions in biorestoration, biological control of plant diseases, and biological nitrogen fixation.

The book provides a comprehensive introduction to bacterial biology, biochemistry, genetics, and genomics of beneficial microbes. It also includes practical discussions of microbial biotechnology, including its contribution to sustainable development goals. The book features an extensive index to facilitate the search for key terms.

Ideal for scientists, researchers, and anyone with an interest in beneficial microbes, "Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture" is an indispensable resource for microbiology graduate students, applied microbiologists, and policymakers.
