This book illustrates the major trends in applied microbiology research with immediate or potential applications. The diversity of the chapters allows coverage of a large field of applications, such as food and health sectors, environmental technology, and fine chemical productions. It includes specific research papers and overview papers, and attempts to provide a balanced coverage of various types of micro-organisms, particularly yeast, fungi, and bacteria. It presents results of recent researches, which have immediate application.
