    Biodiesel, a renewable and green energy alternative to the conventional petrodiesel, can be sourced from microbes that have many advantages as compared to plant and animal sources. Heterotrophic microbes like bacteria, ...
  • Phosphate solubilization by microorganisms: Overview, mechanisms, applications and advances (Chapter 11) 
    Prabhu, N.; Borkar, S.; Garg, S. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 161-176.)
    Phosphorus is known as the master key element among all the elements required for plant growth. The diverse soil phosphorus forms can be categorized as soluble orthophosphates, insoluble inorganic and insoluble organic ...
  • Metagenomics a modern approach to reveal the secrets of unculturable microbes (Chapter 12) 
    Shamim, K.; Mujawar, S.; Mutnale, M. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 177-195.)
    Recent developments in science have recognized that culture-based method is inefficient in recognizing most (99 percent) of the unculturable microorganisms inhabiting the planet Earth. This fact stimulated the development ...
  • Microbial lectins: Roles and applications (Chapter 9) 
    Kotecha, H.; Poduval, P.B. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 135-147.)
    Lectins are the glycoproteins known to bind specifically to carbohydrates on the cell surface. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses produce lectins that in turn provide the microbes with several ...
  • Bacterial probiotics over antibiotics: A boon to aquaculture (Chapter 14) 
    Fernandes, Samantha; Kerkar, S. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 215-232.)
    Aquaculture is an important economic activity and one of the fastest developing food sectors in the world. The massive expansion of the aquaculture industry in the recent decade has been accompanied by environmental impacts ...
  • Genome sequence analysis for bioprospecting of marine bacterial polysaccharide-degrading enzymes (Chapter 2) 
    Imran, Md.; Ghadi, S.C. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 21-34.)
    Complex polysaccharides, such as agar, alginate, carrageenan, chitin, xylan, etc., are abundantly present in marine algae and crustaceans. Degradation of these polysaccharides is attributed to microbial agarase, alginate ...
  • Technological advancements in industrial enzyme research (Chapter 6) 
    Devasia, V.L.A.; Kanchana, R.; Vahist, P.; Muraleedharan, U.D. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 85-102.)
    Microorganisms supply an impressive assemblage of catalysts with a wide range of applications spread across several industries. Although important, naturally occurring enzymes are, however, often unsuitable for commercial ...
  • Biotechnological implications of hydrolytic enzymes from marine microbes (Chapter 7) 
    Vahist, P.; Kanchana, R.; Devasia, V.L.A.; Shirodkar, P.V.; Muraleedharan, U.D. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 103-118.)
    Biotechnology offers potential for new industrial processes that are less energy consuming and are based on renewable and environmentally friendly raw materials. Recent explorations due to innovations in techniques have ...
  • Bioinformatics methods: Application toward analyses and interpretation of experimental data (Chapter 1) 
    Haldar, S. (Advances in Biological Science Research: A Practical Approach. 2019; 1-19.)
    The analysis and interpretation of experimental data are the crucial steps in biological research. Multidisciplinary methods through coalition of biological data with statistics are essential for this. Biostatistics and ...
  • Alpha-amylase production by extremely halophilic archaeon Halococcus strain GUVSC8 
    Salgaonkar, B.B.; Sawant, D.T.; Harinarayanan, S.; Braganca, J.M. (Starch. 71(5-6); 2019; ArticleID_1800018.)
    Starch hydrolyzing isolate GUVSC8 is obtained from commercial salt crystals of Vedaranyam, Tamil Nadu, India. GUVSC8 is categorized as an extreme halophile based on its growth on complex medium containing 25 percent (w/v) ...
