Full Description
This book provides a conciseand comprehensive overview of the basic biology, genomics, biotechnologicalapplications and role of Pseudomonas in agriculture, environment andindustry. The Pseudomonas genus occupies a key position in medicine, theenvironment, agriculture and commercial biotechnology by virtue of its geneticdiversity, metabolic adaptability and versatility and the broad array ofecological niches that it inhabits. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, anopportunistic pathogen, is known for its multiple drug resistance and isassociated with cystic fibrosis and wound infections particularly in patientswith burn injuries. Pseudomonas syringae is a plant pathogen andis responsible for major crop losses in horticultural, vegetable and fieldcrops. Another species, P. fluorescens is known for promoting plantgrowth through the production of certain hormones and the biocontrol ofsoil-borne fungal diseases and insects. The ability to adapt to diverseand challenging environments and degrade recalcitrant compounds means that thegenus is widely exploited for bioremediation, while their genetic diversitycoupled with broad catalytic potential makes them valuable inbiotransformation, synthesis of high-value chiral compounds for biosynthesisand production of biopolymers and bio-surfactants widely used in medicine,agriculture and industry.The book serves as a readyreference and text book for graduate students, young field microbiologists andresearch scientists in academia, research institutes andindustry.
