Bioactive Microbial Metabolites: Scope and Challenges not only focuses on the identification, separation and purification of bioactive metabolites, the book also provides an understanding of the metabolic pathways for bioactive metabolites production that play an important role in modern healthcare as frontline treatments for many diseases. This is a valuable reference for research students, academicians and scientists in environmental microbiology and biotechnology, and for industry personnel related to microbiology/ biotechnology. The science discussed herein plays an important role in expanding the market of antibiotics, food and agriculture but also offers eco-friendly, safer and profitable solutions to respective industries.
