Klappentext

Marine Microbial Products: Applications and Opportunities delves into the extensive world of marine microbes, an assemblage of organisms that contain a broad array of bioactive chemicals. Written and edited by a diverse team of environmental microbiologists, this book provides readers with a foundational understanding of marine microbial taxa, the products that may be synthesized from these organisms, technological innovations, and future directions of research. Chapters collate the most current research in healthcare, sustainability, and commercial production, presenting readers with the latest information on antibiotics, antivirals, anticancer therapeutics, immunosuppressive chemicals, bioremediation, food processing, biofertilizers, biopesticides, cosmetics, pigments, probiotics, and functional foods.

The book is structured for accessibility to academic and professional audiences, spanning a variety of sectors. It is an indispensable resource for students, professors, researchers, and industry professionals in biology, biotechnology, sustainable development, food, healthcare sciences, and adjacent industries.
