Principles In Microbiome Engineering

<b>Principles in Microbiome Engineering</b><p><b>Provides an overview of the techniques and applications insight into the complex composition and interactions of microbiomes</b><p>Microbiomes, the communities of microorganisms that inhabit specific ecosystems or organisms, can be engineered to modify the structure of microbiota and reestablish ecological balance. In recent years, a better understanding of microbial composition and host-microbe interactions has led to the development of new applications for improving human health and increasing agricultural productivity and quality. <p><i>Principles in Microbiome Engineering</i> introduces readers to the tools and applications involved in manipulating the composition of a microbial community to improve the function of an eco-system. Covering a range of key topics, this up-to-date volume discusses current research in areas such as microbiome-based therapeutics for human diseases, crop plant breeding, animal husbandry, soil engineering, f
