About this book
Diversity of microbial communities in soil and their multifaceted functionalities has paved the way for utilization of microbes in industries. This book comprises of soil microbial diversity and role of microbes in agro-industry.
This volume is the compilation of the updated research from resource persons on impact of soil microbial diversity like increasing soil fertility, CO2 sequestration, and understanding soil microbial communities through cutting edge technology. Besides, the book embodies microbes renewed role in production of bioplastics, nutraceuticals, dairy products, drugs from macro-fungi, potential economic development from agrowaste or fish waste, and advance approaches in bioprospecting of biocatalyst and biosensing of secondary metabolites. This will not only improve knowledge but also enhance research on exploiting soil microbes in industry or agro-industry. The proposed book, Advances in Agricultural and Industrial Microbiology, Vol I can be very effective tobridge the gap between vastness of literatures available pertaining to agricultural and industrial microbiology and their applications with authoritative chapters containing latest updates available in this area of science.
The content of the book is an exhaustive reference resource for soil microbiologist, agricultural scientists, academia, policymakers, industrial microbiologists pursuing teaching and research in these domains.

Bighneswar Baliyarsingh, Ph.D., is presently working as Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology, Odisha University of Technology and Research (formerly College of Engineering and Technology), Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. He obtained one of his postgraduate degrees, M. Sc. in Biotechnology, from Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, India followed by M. Tech in Biotechnology from West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata, India, sponsored by Dept of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt of India in the year 2007. He also obtainedhis Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, India. He has gained research and industrial work experience by serving in different institutes like ICAR-NRRI-Cuttack, Bose Institute-Kolkata, AIIMS-New Delhi with brief industrial exposure through BCIL-BITP, sponsored by DBT, Govt. of India. He has qualified CSIR-UGC National Eligible Test (NET) in year 2007. He has successfully supervised good number of M. Tech and B. Tech dissertation works, continuously. He has published more than 15 articles including research papers, reviews and book chapters in various journals and publishers of national and international repute (h index: 4 in Google Scholar).
Dr. Ashutosh Singh is presently working as Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Guelph, Canada. After completing B.Tech.in Biotechnology from Vellore Institute of Technology, India in 2007, he obtained M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree in Bioresource Engineering, from McGill University, Canada in 2010 and 2014 respectively. Before joining the University of Guelph, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie University, Canada from 2014 to 2015 and later joined McGill University as a Research Associate. Dr. Singh's research work involves the development of novel food processing methods and the use of physical, chemical, engineering, bioinformatics and biotechnological tools to improve the understanding of the nutritional component of food at the molecular level. In recent years his research group has expanded the research areas to include the development of non-destructive food quality and safety testing techniques using ATR-FTIR and NIR. His research group also works in the area of design, fabrication and application of microfluidic electrochemical, Quartz-Crystal Microbalance (QCM) and colorimetric biosensors to identify food allergens and toxins. Till date he and his research group members have published over 50 research articles (Citation: 1004, h index: 18 and i10-index: 23 (Google Scholar)).
