Beskrivning

Fungal Biodeterioration and Biodegradation: Insights into Fungal Behaviour, Mechanisms, and Applications offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of fungi’s dual roles in environmental processes and material deterioration. Fungi are Earth's main recyclers, capable of breaking down complex substances like lignin, plastics, and pollutants. However, they also cause biodeterioration of food, artworks, textiles, and infrastructure, posing challenges across industries and conservation efforts. This book bridges molecular mechanisms with practical applications, providing researchers, conservators, and industry professionals with essential knowledge on how fungi interact with materials, pollutants, and microbial communities. It covers foundational topics such as fungal biology, enzymatic pathways, and colonization processes. The volume explores fungi’s role in degrading natural and synthetic polymers, petroleum products, and environmental contaminants, supported by case studies on cultural heritage preservation, bioremediation, and industrial waste management. Cutting-edge omics, enzyme engineering, and scalable biotech solutions are highlighted, along with future directions in fungal biotechnology and genetic engineering.

Fungal Biodeterioration and Biodegradation equips professionals with scientific insights and practical strategies to harness fungi’s power for environmental cleanup, sustainable industry practices, and cultural conservation.

His research focuses on fungal pathology, mycology, biological control, and fungal decomposition. He has published 50+ research papers, authored 6 books, contributed 10+ book chapters, and holds 20+ patents. He is a Recipient of Young Scientist Award (2018), Excellence in Research Award (2018), and Excellence in Innovation Award (2025). Dr Kumar is a life time member of the Indian Phytopathological Society and Indian Science Congress Association. Dr Hina has 22 years of teaching and research experience in the field of Mycology, Agricultural microbiology, Plant sciences, waste management, Biodeterioration and biodegradation, cultural heritage conservation, and sustainable agriculture. She obtained his doctorate degree in Botany, Jiwaji University, Gwalior, M.P, India, on the topic Biodeteriorating components with reference to fungi inside library environment. She is a Fellow of the Indian Botanical Society and Society of Bionaturalists, and a Life Member of the Indian Microbiological Society and Indian Science Congress Association. She has published 52+ research papers. Authored 7 books and holds 10+ Patents. She has been serving as reviewer for different national and international peer-reviewed journals. Awarded the Young Scientist Award (MP Council of science and Technology,1998) and Best Teacher Award by Bharat Vikas Parishad, INDIA.Dr Chakraborty holds a Ph.D. in Marine Micropaleontology (Birbal Sahni Institute/University of Burdwan) and has conducted postdoctoral research in paleoclimate and isotope geochemistry (Academia Sinica, Taiwan). While his core expertise lies in paleoenvironmental reconstruction, his work on organic microfossil preservation and degradation in sedimentary systems intersects with microbial decomposition processes. He brings strong interdisciplinary coordination skills and an international research network (UK, Germany, Taiwan, etc.). With an H-index of 7 and awards including the Newton Bhabha Fellowship and DSTINSPIRE Fellowship, he ensures rigorous scientific integration.Dr. Ajar Nath Yadav is an Assistant Professor (Sr. Scale) and Assistant Controller of Examinations at Eternal University, Baru Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, in India. He has eight years of teaching and 12 years of research experience in the field of microbial biotechnology, microbial diversity, and plant-microbe interactions. Dr. Yadav has published three books with Elsevier, five books with Taylor & Francis, one book with Wiley, and 21 books with Springer-Nature. Dr. Yadav has published 123 research communications in different international and national conferences, and obtained 12 Best Paper Presentation Awards, and a Young Scientist Award (NASI-Swarna Jyanti Purskar). He has been serving as an editorial board member and reviewer for 35 different national and international peer-reviewed journals. He has lifetime membership in the Association of Microbiologist in India, and Indian Science Congress Council.
