Beskrivning

Advances in Cyanobacterial Biology presents the novel, practical, and theoretical aspects of cyanobacteria, providing a better understanding of basic and advanced biotechnological application in the field of sustainable agriculture. Chapters have been designed to deal with the different aspects of cyanobacteria including their role in the evolution of life, cyanobacterial diversity and classification, isolation, and characterization of cyanobacteria through biochemical and molecular approaches, phylogeny and biogeography of cyanobacteria, symbiosis, Cyanobacterial photosynthesis, morphological and physiological adaptation to abiotic stresses, stress-tolerant cyanobacterium, biological nitrogen fixation. Other topics include circadian rhythms, genetics and molecular biology of abiotic stress responses, application of cyanobacteria and cyanobacterial mats in wastewater treatments, use as a source of novel stress-responsive genes for development of stress tolerance and as a source of biofuels, industrial application, as biofertilizer, cyanobacterial blooms, use in Nano-technology and nanomedicines as well as potential applications.

This book will be important for academics and researchers working in cyanobacteria, cyanobacterial environmental biology, cyanobacterial agriculture and cyanobacterial molecular biologists.

Summarizes the various aspects of cyanobacterial research, from primary nitrogen fixation, to advanced nano-technology applications
Addresses both practical and theoretical aspects of the cyanobacterial application
Includes coverage of biochemical and molecular approaches for the identification, use and management of cyanobacteria

Mer information

Prashant Kumar Singh works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at Pachhunga University College, Mizoram University, Aizawl, Mizoram. He earned his Ph.D. at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, and has since held postdoctoral and visiting research positions in China and Israel. Over a sustained research career, he has published widely and edited books on cyanobacteria and plant molecular biology, with a research focus centered on the molecular mechanisms of stress adaptation in plants, including epigenetic regulation. He has received several national research fellowships and awards, holds memberships in multiple scientific societies, and serves on the editorial or reviewer boards of numerous peer-reviewed journals. Ajay Kumar is currently an Assistant Professor at the Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Noida, India. He previously served as a Visiting Scientist at the Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center, Israel (2018–2022), and completed his doctoral research at the Department of Botany, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, focusing on plant–microbe interactions. Dr. Kumar’s research expertise spans plant–microbe interactions, microbial biocontrol, postharvest fruit disease management, microbial endophytes of medicinal plants, and cyanobacteria–pesticide interactions. He is a prolific author in leading international journals and is also actively engaged in academic editing with major publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, CRC Press, and Wiley. Dr. Kumar currently serves as an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Microbiology and BMC Microbiology, a Guest Editor for Microorganisms and Plants (MDPI), and a Series Editor for Plant and Soil Microbiome (Elsevier). Dr. Vipin Kumar Singh is currently working as CSIR Research Associate in the Department of Botany, Centre of Advanced Study, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Botany from the Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India in the year 2015. He has worked in the UGC project entitled “Detoxification of arsenic contaminated groundwater by transgenic eco-friendly microbes. He has more than nine years of research experience in the area of groundwater hydro-geochemistry and bioremediation approaches to clean the contaminated groundwater sites. His area of interest includes the use of fast-growing plants and microbes to clean the contaminated soil and water system. Dr. Singh has published eight book chapters, twenty-one research articles in journals of national and international repute. He is a life time member of Indian Association of Hydrologists (IAH) and Association of Microbiologists of India (AMI). Currently, he is the member of editorial board in Indian Journal of Microbiology research and Water open access journal. So far, he has reviewed more than dozens of research articles and book chapters of international repute. He has actively participated in many national and international seminars, symposia, conferences and workshop related to the application of microbes in the management of contaminated sites. Dr. Alok Kumar Shrivastava is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany, Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Bihar, India. He has published papers in reputed international journals such as Aquatic toxicology, Journal of Proteomics, Biochemical and Biophysical Acta, Functional and Integrative Genomics, Gene, Archives of Microbiology, Journal of Basic Micro Biology, and various book chapters in Taylors and Francis Group as well as Elsevier publishing group. He completed his Ph.D. degree on the title “Molecular analysis of AhpC of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 to decodes its role in abiotic stress management.
