Coordonnateurs : Gupta Vijai G., Pandey Anita
New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Microbial Secondary Metabolites Biochemistry and Applications examines the areas of biotechnology and chemical engineering, covering aspects of plants, bacteria and machines, and using microbes as factories. The book is aimed at undergraduates, post-graduates and researchers studying microbial secondary metabolites, and is an invaluable reference source for biochemical engineers working in biotechnology, manipulating microbes, and developing new uses for bacteria and fungi. The applications of secondary metabolites in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and medical device development are also extensively covered.
The book integrates the aforementioned frontline branches into an interdisciplinary research work to satisfy those working in biotechnology, chemical engineering, alternative fuel development, diagnostics and pharmaceuticals. Chapters related to important research work on applications of microbial secondary metabolites are written by specialists in the various disciplines from the international community.

Dr. Anita Pandey is a Microbiologist at the G.B. Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment and Sustainable Development in Almora, Uttarakhand, India. Her research focuses on the bioprospection of microbial diversity in the Indian Himalayan region (IHR). Specifically, her research areas of interest have included extremophiles, rhizosphere, biodegradation, fermented foods, water microbes, and plant-based antimicrobials. She has also developed microbial formulations for conservation of medicinal plant species and established a microbial culture collection in her laboratory. MSc, PhD and Postdoc scholars work in her research group.
Dr. Pandey has several recognitions to her credit, such as the National Young Woman Biosci
- Compiles the latest developments in the area of microbial secondary metabolites
- Authored by the top international researchers in this area
- Includes information related to nearly all areas of a microbial secondary metabolites system
