About The Book

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, which are microscopic, unicellular, and cell-cluster organisms. This includes eukaryotes such as fungi and protists, and prokaryotes. Viruses and prions, though not strictly classed as living organisms, are also studied. Microbiology typically includes the study of the immune system, or Immunology. Biotechnological potential of microorganism and the implications of their metabolism as well as their products in all spheres of human civilization such as agriculture, industry and medicine, have been of tremendous importance in recent times. The meaning or the definition of the word biotechnology has been the subject of hot debate by scientists and technocrats. The definition depends on the extent of expertise a group or an individual has with regard to cell biology. This book combines the microbiology and biotechnology together for biochemical and molecular investigations. It brings together in one place the biological and engineering methodologies required to develop a successful industrial process. The present book provides through coverage of applied microbiology and biotechnology. This book is highly useful for student, teachers, researchers and industrial person engaged in microbiology and biotechnology.
