Phytopathogenic Bacteria and Plant Diseases

Phytopathogenic Bacteria and Plant Diseases

The field of Phytobacteriology is rapidly advancing and changing because of recent advances in genomics and molecular plant pathology but also due to the global spread of bacterial plant diseases and the emergence of new bacterial diseases. So there is a need to integrate understanding of bacterial taxonomy genomics and basic plant pathology that reflects state-of-the-art knowledge about plant-disease mechanisms. This book describes seventy specific bacterial plant diseases and presents up-to-date classification of plant pathogenic bacteria. It would be of great help for scientists and researchers in conducting research on ongoing projects or formulation of new research projects. The book will also serve as a text book for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of disciplines of Phytobacteriology and Plant Pathology. Contains latest and updated information of plant pathogenic bacteria till December 2018 Describes seventy specific bacterial diseases Presents classification of the bacteria and associated nomenclature based on Bergey’s Manual Systematic Bacteriology and International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology Discusses practical and thoroughly tested disease management strategies that would help in controlling enormous losses caused by these plant diseases Reviews role of Type I-VI secretion systems and peptide- or protein-containing toxins produced by bacterial plant pathogens Briefs about plants and plant products that act as carriers of human enteric bacterial pathogens like emphasizing role of seed sprouts as a common vehicle in causing food-borne illness Dr B.

Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Drugs Genetic Diseases and Epigenetics

Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Drugs Genetic Diseases and Epigenetics

Volume 7 of the Jenny Stanford Series on Biocatalysis deals with several different aspects of pharmaceuticals which include not only various applications of drugs and their metabolism but also natural resources for active pharmaceutical ingredients as well as the removal of pharmaceutical pollution. In detail novel approaches for developing microbial fermentation processes to produce vitamin B6 using microorganisms are described together with novel routes for vitamin B6 biosynthesis. The other topics discussed are new approaches for producing the successful anticancer drug Taxol from naturally occurring precursors molecular farming through plant engineering as a cost-effective means to produce therapeutic and prophylactic proteins and successful screening of potent microorganisms producing L-asparaginase for various chemotherapeutic applications. Furthermore microbial biotransformations in the production and degradation of fluorinated pharmaceuticals are described. The other chapters inform the reader about the biotransformation of xenobiotics/drugs in living systems the degradation of pharmaceuticals by white-rot fungi and their ligninolytic enzymes and the removal of pharmaceutical pollution from municipal sewage using laccase. | Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Drugs Genetic Diseases and Epigenetics

Residential Property Appraisal Volume 2: Inspections Defects and Reports

Residential Property Appraisal Volume 2: Inspections Defects and Reports

Residential Property Appraisal Volumes 1 and 2 are handbooks not only for students studying residential surveying but also for those involved in the appraisal of residential property. Volume 1 has been updated and covers the valuation process as it relates to residential properties particularly when valuation is undertaken for secured lending purposes. It addresses the basic skills required the risks posed in a valuation the key drivers of value emerging issues that impact valuation and the key legal and RICS regulatory considerations that a valuer needs to understand. Volume 2 of the series goes on to consider the practical aspects of the survey and inspection of residential properties in more detail. Not only does this include updated sections on the most common defects (for example building movement moisture problems wood rot and wood-boring insects) it also covers emerging challenges including assessing personal safety hazards modern construction technologies and materials and invasive plants. The volume also takes account of the Home Survey Standard recently published by the RICS and the changes resulting from climate change the energy crisis and concerns about fire safety. Building services in domestic residential properties is another area of rapid change especially with the development of low-carbon and renewable technologies. To ensure that this aspect is covered in sufficient detail the content is to be included in Volume 3: Assessing Building Services. An essential book for students studying to enter the residential survey and valuation profession and for existing practitioners who wish to improve their knowledge of current practices. | Residential Property Appraisal Volume 2: Inspections Defects and Reports
