Preface

The current volume communicates aspects of beneficial microorganisms in relation to agriculture and aquaculture. In agriculture, microorganisms have been proven useful in a wide array of potential applications ranging from biofertilizers to increasing crop productivity and from production of biomass and biofuels to enhanced quality of poultry production. Similarly in aquaculture, microorganisms have been applied in treatment and purification of wastewater from biofarming, applications of bioflocculation, and biopreservation of sea harvests. New innovations have also been observed, including the microbial production of surfactants, colorants, and biodegradable plastics, all providing insights of the unlimited potentials of microorganisms in these areas.
