Mangrove Microbiome
Diversity and Bioprospecting
Overview of Mangrove Microbiomes
This book highlights the diversity, and industrial and bio-therapeutic applications of mangrove associated microbiomes. The bioactive metabolites from the mangrove microbiomes show high antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-biofilm activities. Their environmentally significant capabilities such as remediation, degradation and agriculture enhancing properties are discussed in this book as well. Mangroves are extremely nutrient-rich and productive ecosystems found adjacent to coastal waters and they stand at the base of an extensive food web. Diverse groups of metabolically active microbial populations of this ecosystem produce economically important bio-active metabolites which have environmental, cosmetic, food and biomedical industrial applications.
Purpose and Audience
This book aims to consolidate the research, bridge the knowledge gaps, and stimulate further research on mangrove microbiomes. It provides a valuable resource that benefits the scientific community, academic researchers, healthcare practitioners, and individuals interested in the potential use of microbial populations of mangrove ecosystem in managing bio-efficiencies.
