Perspectives In Biotechnology And Applied Microbiology

Upon an invitation from Arab Bureau of Education for the Gulf States "ABEGS"; an International Conference on Biotechnology and Applied Microbiol ogy was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 12-15 November 1984. The Conference was sponsored by ABEGS and organized through coopera tion with Saudi Biological Society "SBS". ABEGS was established in 1976 with the aim of coordinating, unifying and developing all aspects of Education, Culture and Science in the Gulf States. In the field of publications, ABEGS is publishing various books, pamphlets and two scientific journals, one in Arabic and the other in English entitled: the Arab Gulf Journal of Scientific Research. This volume contains topics presented by the invited speakers and selected papers from among those submitted by participants. Selection was done on basis of some of the invited talks. Main topics of the conference were grouped into sections representing seven themes of Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology: - production of microbial proteins - utilization of microorganisms for the production of chemicals - microbial treatment and utilization of waste - continuous culture - application of biotechnology in plant science - applied microbiology and environment and - applied microbiology and biotechnology: international cooperation - tween developed and developing countries. Some of the topics in this volume present surveys of recent developments in several important areas of biotechnology and applied microbiology, while the remaining papers carry detailed research contributions.

This book is the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Studies Institute organized jointly by LNETI, the National Laboratories of the Ministry of Industry of the Portuguese Government and The Institute for Biotechnological Studies in the UK. The ASI was held in 1985 on the beautiful peninsula of Troia, once the site of a flourishing Roman salt industry. The course was the first in the NATO "Double Jump Programme" specifically aimed to promote industrial and academic participation and cooperation. As such, contributions across the whole field of biotechnology were planned and the present volume represents perspectives from specialists in different areas. Biotechnology has been defined in a recent OECD publication as "the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services" and the contents of this book, which often describe research from interdisciplinary groups, reflect this title. The value of the ASI was further enhanced by many first class poster contributions from the participants.

This book offers an exhaustive treatment of the techniques in the multidisciplinary field of applied microbiology, and a detailed survey of recent and important advances. It will be of great value to students and professionals involved in the fields of biotechnology, applied and industrial microbiology, and biochemical engineering.

Current Perspectives in Bioscience Research is more inclined towards interdisciplinary studies. Recent developments in the technologies have led to a better understanding of living systems and this has removed the demarcations between various disciplines of life sciences. A new trend in life science incorporates biological research involving a merger of diverse disciplines such as (Zoology: Entomology & Fisheries, comparative anatomy of vertebrates and toxicology), Botany etc. The book encompasses topics on A Review on the potential of marine microbes in bio-plastics production, Phytochemical analysis and antibacterial activity of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Linn against UTI causing pathogenic bacteria, Bioefficacy of Trichoderma isolates against fungal pathogens, Exotic Vs Exotic – A Promising Mode of Weed Control, Bioplastics - Production of plastics from Banana peels, CRISPR CAS9 in Gene Editing, A Review on mobile phones, a bridge for transmission of microbes, Appraisal on Diagnosis Treatment and Prophylaxis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Preservation and microbial contamination of frozen foods, Nutraceuticals as alternative therapeutics for Parkinson’s disease, Decolorization of textile effluent using plant-based natural coagulants - A review, Vaccine Safety, Biodiversity and Biotechnological Potentials of Fungi from Marine Ecosystem, Bacterial Biofertilizers – An Overview, Nanoparticles as Feed supplements for Livestock animals and Isolation of Methionine producing Bacteria from Marine Environment distributed throughout Seventeen chapters for the benefits of graduate and postgraduate students as well as young researchers and scientists. In addition, this book provide newer techniques and the use of modern tools in achieving the potential of Antimicrobial activity, Food and Microbial technology, Vaccine technology, of vertebrates and COVID-19, this is all used to understand the challenges found in biological sciences.
