Planet Earth is undergoing an accelerated process of change associated with a wide range of anthropogenic phenomena. The future of these changes is uncertain, but there is general agreement that this negative development might be detrimental to our own survival. Although different environmental engineering strategies have been developed, none of them seem to address carbon dioxide accumulation, biosphere, and ecosystem safety. The rapidly increasing potential for the development of living systems through the biotechnology and bioengineering of microbes is a sustainable alternative to address safety issues.

Beneficial Microbes for Biotechnology brings together the ideas and latest developments of leading biotechnologists and bioengineers. In 20 chapters it covers various aspects of microbes mediated rhizosphere, biosphere, environmental and ecosystem biotechnology and focuses on the restoration and management of the rhizosphere, the biosphere, and the ecosystem with microbes for a sustainable future.

The book is designed to address various technical and application details of microorganisms and their products in the light of biotechnology and bioengineering approaches. It provides up-to-date knowledge to beginners, researchers, students, scientists, engineers, and industry stakeholders who can support the management of ecosystems through the use of microbes.
