Green Microbiology: Sustainability, Climate Change, Food, and Water

Green Microbiology: Sustainability, Climate Change, Food, and Water provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of green microbiology. The book introduces readers to the various ways in which microbes can be used in sustainable development, including in areas such as climate change, food production, bioenergy, bioremediation, and water treatment. The book also discusses the social, economic, and environmental impact of green microbiology, as well as the business and future trends in this field. Thus, this work also contributes to meeting the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015, as it covers the various ways in which green microbiology can contribute to the achievement of these goals. Edited by two highly qualified and experienced professionals in the field of industrial microbiology and environmental science, with a particular expertise in the intersection between food processing and food microbiology, this book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field, helping to solve the problems of a lack of comprehensive resources and a lack of understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable development.
