Understanding the Microbiome Interactions in Agriculture and the Environment [E-Book] - 1st ed. 2022. - XXIII, 344 p. 1 illus. online resource.

Unravelling the microbiome interactions in the environment and agriculture in the era of metagenomics -- Antimicrobial Resistance in Environmental Microbiome: an overview -- Mechanistic adaptation of microbiomes in extreme environments -- Mangrove microbiomes: Biodiversity, ecological significance, and potential role in the amelioration of metal stress -- Dynamics of the coral microbiome and its link to Climate Change -- A paradigm shift in the role of the microbiomes in environmental health and agriculture sustainability -- Modifications in Environmental Microbiome and the Evolution of Viruses through Genetic Diversity -- Novel Insights into Environmental Niche Adaptations and Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis Potential of marine sponge microbiome -- Microbiome-based Sustainable Agriculture Targeting Plant Protection -- Rhizobacteriome: Plant Growth-Promoting Traits and its Functional Mechanism in Plant Growth, Development, and Defenses -- The Cellulosome: A fiber degrading strategist of the rumen microbiome -- Metagenomic approaches for studying plant-microbe interactions -- Nitty-gritty into the plant microbiomes: Understanding Microbial niche associations and dynamics in various plant parts -- A conceptual framework to explore the functional implications of Coral-associated microbiomes and their role in promoting plant growth -- Soil microbiome- characteristics, the impact of climate change, and resilience -- Endophytic microbiomes and their role in drought stress tolerance in plants.

This book illustrates the importance of microbiome interactions in sustainable agriculture and the environment. The chapters of the book provide information pertaining to the vast diversity of microbiomes in many ecosystems and their functional dynamics. The book also discusses bioremediation, space microbiomes, geo microbiomes, coral microbiomes, antibiotic resistomes, and rhizomicrobiome. It also sheds light on the complex syntrophic and other symbiotic interactions between bacteria, protists, plants, and certain animals in agricultural and environmental systems. The book, in turn, provides an understanding of the adaptation, resilience, and evolution of microbial ecosystems. Further, the chapters cover metagenomics analysis of microbiomes of a novel or extreme environments, microbial resilience or temporal fluctuations, symbiosis and co-evolution of the microbiome, and novel microbial interactions in agriculture and environment. Finally, the book elucidates a comprehensive yet representative description of complex structural and functional diversity within the plant and environmental microbiomes to reveal their immense potential. This book covers United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goal 2 towards Zero Hunger.
