Next Generation Probiotics: Natural Therapeutics, Volume 2: Current Developments in Agricultural Biotechnology and Food Security
Editat de Shakira Ghazanfar, Charles Oluwaseun Adetunji, Wajya Ajmal, Muhammad Adnan Ansarien Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 iul 2026
This edition expands its scope to reflect rapid developments in probiotic science and translational applications. It integrates insights from probiotic genomics, CRISPR-Cas9 technology, microbiota-targeted foods, and personalized microbiome-based nutrition. By addressing disease-specific, strain-specific, and host-specific effects, the book provides a holistic view of how probiotics can be optimized for therapeutic efficacy. Contributions from experts across bioinformatics, microbiology, clinical research, and food science ensure a multidisciplinary and evidence-based perspective.
Key Features
- Detailed coverage of machine learning applications in probiotic development and fermented dairy products (new to this edition)
- In-depth discussion of probiotic genomics, cancer associations, and CRISPR-Cas9–based strain improvement
