Microbial Applications Vol.2: Biomedicine, Agriculture and Industry
暫譯: 微生物應用 第2卷：生物醫學、農業與工業

這本貢獻集提供了多種應用的見解，利用微生物促進農業生產力、製造生化產品或應對生物醫學挑戰。它突顯了具有醫療功能的納米化合物的微生物生產，以及新的抗分枝桿菌策略，並介紹了促進植物生長的根圭菌（Rhizobacteria）以及生物膜形成與作物生產力之間的相關性。此外，作者展示了利用微生物和真菌酶進行生化化合物的綠色合成，例如羥肟酸或生物表面活性劑。這本書激勵年輕研究人員和經驗豐富的科學家在微生物學領域探索綠色、生物和紅色生物技術的綜合應用，以達到工業目的，這將是未來世代的核心主題之一。
