Marine Microbiomes: Exploring Ecology, Biotechnology, and Environmental Impact de Manish Thakur

Marine Microbiomes: Exploring Ecology, Biotechnology, and Environmental Impact: Bioprospecting and Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Manish Thakur, Tejinder Kaur, Surajit Pathak
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 feb 2026

Aplicabilitatea practică a volumului Marine Microbiomes rezidă în transformarea cunoștințelor teoretice despre ecologia microbiană în soluții concrete pentru biotehnologie și protecția mediului. Recomandăm acest tratat pentru modul în care reușește să facă tranziția de la inventarierea biodiversității — incluzând arhebacterii, actinobacterii și virusuri oceanice — la utilizarea acestora ca biocatalizatori în degradarea hidrocarburilor și a micropoluanților. Apreciem structura riguroasă a celor 16 capitole, care ghidează cititorul de la înțelegerea habitatelor extreme și a ciclurilor biogeochimice către frontierele bioeconomiei.

Cititorii familiarizați cu Marine Microbiome and Microbial Bioprospecting de Manikkam Radhakrishnan vor aprecia în acest volum accentul sporit pus pe impactul antropic și pe tehnologiile de bioremediere. În timp ce lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe potențialul bioactiv, ediția de față, coordonată de Manish Thakur, Tejinder Kaur și Surajit Pathak, integrează capitolul inovator „Unleashing the Power of Omics”, care propune o revoluționare a metodelor de curățare a mediului marin. Progresia editorială este logică: după stabilirea fundamentelor ecologice și a relațiilor de simbioză, volumul explorează bioprospectarea pentru alimente funcționale, medicamente și cosmeceutice, finalizând cu o analiză critică a modului în care încălzirea globală și microplasticul alterează aceste ecosisteme vitale. Deși Manish Thakur a explorat anterior managementul educațional în lucrări precum Management Education in India, această contribuție în domeniul biologiei moleculare demonstrează o coordonare editorială precisă, axată pe obiectivele de dezvoltare durabilă.
