This is the first book to present the idea of using Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing in the microalgae industry for environmental biotechnology. It provides the latest developments on microalgae for use in environmental biotechnology, explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, and discusses the transition to smart manufacturing and how state of the art technologies can be incorporated. It covers applications, technologies, challenges, and future perspectives. • Showcases how Industry 4.0 can be applied in algae industry • Covers new ideas generated from Industry 4.0 for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) • Demonstrates new technologies invented to cater to Industry 4.0 in microalgae • Features worked examples related to biological systems Aimed at chemical engineers, bioengineers, and environmental engineers, this is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and industry professionals in the microalgae biotechnology field.
Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms (PSMs) are typical environmental microbes, which can transform insoluble phosphate into plant absorbable forms in soil. The metabolites of organic acid by PSM usually dominate the insoluble phosphate dissolution and phosphorus transformation in soil. The tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) is the main metabolic pathway of organic acids secretion by PSM. Genetic, enzyme, and fermentation engineering technology can significantly affect the TCA pathway, changing the type and quantity of organic acid secretion, hence greatly affecting the application of PSM. In the case of fungi, the enhanced oxalic acid secretion is conducive to lead remediation, while food fermentation engineering needs more citric acid. In addition, the above biotechnology also greatly impacts other metabolites of PSMs, such as phosphatases, degrading enzymes and volatile organic compounds, etc. Therefore, promoting the capacity of metabolism via biotechnology is a current challenge for PSM in the pathway of application in food fermentation, environmental remediation, agricultural production, and biocontrol of plant pathogens.
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2012 International Conference on Environment Materials and Environment Management (EMEM 2012), August 4, 2012, Wuhan, China
This edited book collates the research done mainly in Africa on vermicomposting and related technologies that can assist African smallholder farmers in making nutrient rich organic fertilizers from their animal and crop residue wastes. Information on the development of organic sources of liquid fertilizer development for hydroponics is also presented. The book presents research findings on vermicomposting in a simplified way that will allow farmers and extension workers to adopt the indicated technologies. The book also covers critical aspects of standardization of vermicompost preparation, earthworm biology, nutrient enrichment of composts and organic liquid fertilizer production. Vermicomp...
