Microbial Endophytes Functional Biology and Applications
Coordonnateurs : Kumar Ajay, Radhakrishnan E.K.
Microbial Endophytes: Functional Biology and Applications focuses on endophytic bacteria and fungi, including information on foundational endophytes and the latest advances in relevant genomics, proteomics and nanotechnological aspects. The book provides insights into the molecular aspects of plant endophytes and their interactions and applications, also exploring the potential commercialization of endophytic microorganisms and their use as bio fertilizers, in biocontrol, and as bioactive compounds for other sustainable applications. Coverage of important and emerging legal considerations relevant to those working to implement these important bacteria in production processes is also included.

Dr. E.K. Radhakrishnan is currently working as an associate professor at the School of Biosciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam and as a director at Business innovation and incubation Centre (BIIC.) During his 12 years of research, he has published 143 research publications, 43 book chapters, and 3 review papers. He has edited five books and has several books in progress. He has also been invited to deliver talks at various national and international conferences and seminars. His research areas include plant–microbe interactions, microbial natural products, microbial synthesis of metal nanoparticles, antimicrobial resistance gene prediction, and development of polymer-based nanocomposites with antimicrobial effects for food packaging and medical ap?plications.
