Description : Soil harbours a wide range of microorganisms with biotic potentials which can be explored for social benefits. The book Frontiers in Soil and Environmental Microbiology comprises an overview of the complex inter-relationship between beneficial soil microbes and crop plants, and highlights the potential for utilisation to enhance crop productivity, bioremediation and soil health. The book focusses on important areas of research such as biocide production, pesticide degradation and detoxification, microbial decay processes, remediation of soils contaminated with toxic metals, industrial wastes, and hydrocarbon pollutants. Features Presents the state of the art of microbial research in environmental and soil microbiology Discusses an integrated and systematic compilation of microbes in the soil environment and its role in agriculture and plant growth and productivity Elucidates microbial application in environmental remediation Explores advanced genomics topics for uncultivable microbes of soil Table of Contents 1 Role of additives in improving efficiency of bioformulation for plant growth and development Brahmaprakash G.P., Pramod Kumar Sahu, Lavanya G, Amrita Gupta, Sneha S Nair and Vijaykumar Gangaraddi 2 Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization of Spartidium saharae and their impact on soil microbiological properties Mahdhi Mosbah, Mahmoudi Neji and Mars Mohamed 3 Beneficial Role of Aspergillus sp. in agricultural soil and environment Shubhransu Nayak, Soma Samanta and Arup Kumar Mukherjee 4 Verrucomicrobia in soil: An agricultural prospective Byomkesh Dash, Swapnarani Nayak, Avishek Pahari and Suraja Kumar Nayak 5 Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria: Prospects and Application Avishek Pahari, Alisha Pradhan, Suraja Kumar Nayak and Bibhuti Bhusan Mishra 6 Potential Use of Soil Enzymes as Soil Quality Indicators in Agriculture Adewole Tomiwa Adetunji, Bongani Ncube, Reckson Mulidzi, Francis Bayo Lewu 7 Microorganisms for the imperishable growth of agriculture Awanish Kumar 8 Mycorrhizae and its Scope in Agriculture Pratima Ray 9 Industrial applications of novel compounds from Bacillus sp.
