Entrepreneurship with Microorganisms explains both the basic science and applications of microbiology and bio-resource technology, shining a special emphasis on its entrepreneurial applications. By focusing on basic principles, current research, and global trends, this comprehensive book provides a critical resource and serves as a complete one-stop source for undergraduate and graduates in microbiology, food, agricultural science, medical science, and industrial microbiology biotechnology. In addition, this book will be helpful in the creation of economic (commercial) value of the microorganism(s) based products and technologies as well as opportunities for new jobs at the global level.
