Descripción

The Potential of Microbes for a Circular Economy provides an understanding of the role of microbes in a circular economy (CE). The book covers the development of effective bio-based formulations for field applications and describes the basic principles and applications, the important role of microorganisms, and new insights into a sustainable ecosystem for the circular economy. In addition, it compiles the latest advancement in the field of CE by covering microbes and microbial products, thus providing microbiologists the tools to engage with the public, policymakers, and industry to inform the debate on addressing current challenges.
