This book provides an extensive review of research into Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Arcobacter species found in poultry. It includes the epidemiology, diagnosis, immune response and disease control of these organisms in commercial poultry production. Antimicrobial resistance, and the incidence and human disease potential of these bacteria is also discussed. A global perspective is presen…
This comprehensive book details the most recent advances in the microalgae biological sciences and engineering technologies for biomass and biofuel production in order to meet the ongoing need for new and affordable sources of food, chemicals and energy for future generations. The chapters explore new microalgae cultivation techniques, including solid (biofilm) systems, and heterotrophic produc…
This book covers the most recent advances in all the topics with which researchers and professionals need to be familiar in order to obtain a better understanding of, and to better exploit, beneficial plant-microbe interactions. The use of microorganisms for agriculture and environmental applications is gaining importance worldwide to improve crop performance, but also for other environmental a…
The aim of this book is to provide readers with a wide overview of the main healthcare-associated infections caused by bacteria and fungi able to grow as biofilm. The recently acquired knowledge on the pivotal role played by biofilm-growing microorganisms in healthcare-related infections has given a new dynamic to detection, prevention and treatment of these infections in patients admitted to b…

Dengan fokus pada keamanan pangan, buku ini menyoroti pentingnya mikroba dalam pertanian berkelanjutan. Tumbuhan, organisme sessile yang dipertimbangkan sebagai produsen utama di ekosistem dan berkomunikasi dengan komunitas di atas dan di bawah tanah yang terdiri dari mikroba, serangga, dan hewan vertebrata dan invertebrata lainnya, menjadi sasaran berbagai jenis stres. Secara garis besar, ini …
Brief ini menyangkut risiko kimia dalam produk makanan dari sudut pandang mikrobiologi. Pendekatan "Analisis Bahaya dan Titik Kontrol Kritis" (HACCP), yang diterapkan untuk tujuan ini, didedikasikan untuk studi dan analisis semua kemungkinan bahaya oleh konsumsi makanan dan tindakan pencegahan terkait dengan tujuan melindungi kesehatan konsumen. Tujuan yang sulit ini sangat multidisiplin dan me…
Buku ini menjelaskan proses kompleks yang terlibat dalam degradasi stirena oleh mikroba, termasuk mikroorganisme yang sangat adaptif, berbagai enzim yang terlibat dalam biodegradasi stirena, rute stirena-katabolik baru, mekanisme pengaturan baru, dan gen yang mengkode enzim metabolisme stirena. Banyak aplikasi bioteknologi dibahas, seperti pengembangan teknologi ramah lingkungan yang berkelanju…
