Summary:

Microbial Diversity in Hotspots provides an introduction to microbial diversity and microbes in different hotspots and threatened areas. The book gives insights on extremophiles, phyllosphere and rhizosphere, covers fungal diversity, conservation and microbial association, focuses on biodiversity acts and policies, and includes cases studies. Microbes explored are from the coldest to the hottest areas of the world. Although hotspots are zones with extremely high microbiology activities, the knowledge of microbial diversity from these areas is very limited, hence this is a welcome addition to existing resources

Contents:

1. Exploration of microbial ecology and diversity in hotspots

2. Habitat-specific microbial community associated with the biodiversity hotspot

3. Microbial diversity and ecology of saline environments from India

4. Marine microbial hotspots-especially related to corals

5. Phyllosphere microbiomes: implications and ecofunctional diversity

6. Fungal association in hotspot of rhizosphere

7. Diversity of actinomycetes in Western Ghats

8. Microbial diversity at the polluted sites

9. Microbial diversity in termite gut ecosystem and their role in lignocellulosic degradation

10. Bacterial diversity from Garampani warm spring, Assam

11. Diversity and biotechnological importance of cellulolytic microorganisms from biodiversity hotspots

12. Biodiversity of cold-adapted extremophiles from Antarctica and their biotechnological potential

13. Isolation methods for evaluation of extremophilic microbial diversity from Antarctica region

14. Recent advances in microbial databases with special reference to kinetoplastids

15. Advances in sequencing technology, databases, and analyses tools for the assessment of microbial diversity

16. Legal protection of microbial biodiversity
