Riassunto

This book argues that the sustainable management of resources requires a systematic approach that primarily involves the integration of green innovative biotechnological strategies and eco-engineering. It discusses how microbial community intelligence can be used for waste management and bio-remediation and explains how biological processes can be optimized by integrating genomics tools to provide perspectives on sustainable development.

The book describes the application of modern molecular techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), highly sensitive catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD)-FISH, in situ DNA-hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and methods for detecting mRNA and/or functional genes to optimize bioprocessess. These techniques, supplemented with metagenomic analysis, reveal that a large proportion of micro-organisms still remain to be identified and also that they play a vital role in establishing bioprocesses.

Dr Hemant J. Purohit is head of the Environmental Biotechnology & Genomics Division, CSIR- National Environmental Engineering & Research Institute, Nagpur He completed his PhD at Nagpur University in 1986 with support from CSIR Research Fellowships (JRF and SRF). He has training in microbial biochemistry from the Department of Biochemistry, University of Hull, UK (Commonwealth Fellowship) and also from the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, NINDS, NIH, Bethesda (Fogarty International Exchange Program Fellowship). He also developed the Environmental Genomics program at CSIR-NEERI. His key area of interest is decision making by the bacteria/ microbial community. He has been involved in designing a strategy for capturing microbial diversity by interfacing culturable and DNA fingerprinting tools; developing genomics-based monitoring tools for EIA and bio-remediation processes; studying stress-dependent microbial response using dynamic gene expression and its application in bioprocess optimization; and developing insights into microbial capacities for utilization of organics through genome sequence analysis etc. He has been project coordinator for a number of high value projects and has 225 publications to his credit. Dr Purohit is an associate editor of Applied Biochemistry & Biotechnology ; and editor of the Indian Journal of Microbiology and PLoS One.

Dr. Atul N Vaidya is Head of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division, National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (CSIR), Nagpur.
