Preface
In 1987, the Brundtland Report defined sustainable development as “the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In few words, it means economic growth, environmental protection, and social equality, for now and the future. The environmental, economic, and social developments are thus the three pillars of sustainability. In this scenario, the use of microbes for the industrial production of biomolecules, the manufacture of foods, and the preservation of renewable resource such as the soil, among others, is a matter of sustainable development. This book volume is dealing with the description of a few microbial genera from the point of view of their environmental and economic sustainable use, focusing on the academic, ecological and industrial relevance of different
