Biotechnology of Emerging Microbes: Prospects for Agriculture and Environment provides the latest developments of leading biotechnologists and bioengineers. The book covers various aspects of microbes mediated rhizosphere, biosphere, environmental, and ecosystem biotechnology, and focuses on the restoration and management of the rhizosphere, the biosphere, and the ecosystem with microbes for a sustainable future. It is designed to address various technical and application details of microorganisms and their products in biotechnology and bioengineering approaches. Users will find up-to-date knowledge that is beneficial to beginners, researchers, students, scientists, engineers, and industry stakeholders who can support the management of ecosystems through the use of microbes.

Planet Earth is undergoing an accelerated process of change associated with a wide range of anthropogenic phenomena. The future of these changes is uncertain, but there is general agreement that this negative development might be detrimental to our own survival. Although different environmental engineering strategies have been developed, none of them seem to address carbon dioxide accumulation, biosphere, and ecosystem safety. The rapidly increasing potential for the development of living systems through the biotechnology and bioengineering of microbes is a sustainable alternative to address safety issues.

• Addresses various technical and application details of microorganisms and their products for biotechnology and bioengineering approaches
• Brings together the ideas and latest developments of leading biotechnologists and bioengineers
• Covers various aspects of microbes mediated rhizosphere, biosphere, environmental, and ecosystem biotechnology
