Marine Microbiome and Microbial Bioprospecting: Diversity and Bioactive Potential comprehensively discusses the diversity of microbes present in various marine ecosystems, their bioprospecting potential, and how they can be utilized to derive bioproducts that benefit different fields and industries. Sections overview marine microbes, their ex situ conservation, and the tools and techniques used to study marine microbial diversity and taxonomy. In addition, it explores and details microorganisms in different marine ecosystems and considers how bioactive metabolites from diverse marine microorganisms can be harnessed to combat pathogens, used in industrial products and in environmental remediation and degradation, and enhanced for agricultural and aquaculture applications.
With contributions from experts in the field, this book aims to be a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals in microbiology and biotechnology and anyone involved in finding lead molecules from marine microbial resources for wide-ranging applications.
