But if we want to grasp the big picture, we have to start small--very small. That's because the real heroes of the story of life on Earth are microbes, the tiny living organisms we cannot see with the naked eye. Microbes were Earth's first lifeforms, early anaerobic inhabitants that created the air we breathe. Today they live, invisible and seemingly invincible, in every corner of the planet, from Yellowstone's scalding hot springs to Antarctic mountaintops to inside our very bodies--more than a hundred trillion of them. Don't be alarmed though: many microbes are allies in achieving our--to say nothing of our planet's--health.
In Planet of Microbes, Ted Anton takes readers through the most recent discoveries about microbes, revealing their unexpected potential to reshape the future of the planet. For years, we knew little about these invisible invaders, considering them as little more than our enemies in our fight against infectious disease. But the more we learn about microbes, the more it's become clear that our very lives depend on them. They may also hold the answers to some of science's most pressing problems, including how to combat a warming planet, clean up the environment, and help the body fight off a wide variety of diseases. Anton has spent years interviewing and working with the determined scientists who hope to harness the work of microbes, and he breaks down the science while also sharing incredible behind-the-scenes stories of the research taking place everywhere from microbreweries to Mars.
The world's tiniest organisms were here more than three billion years before us. We live in their world, and Planet of Microbes at last gives these unsung heroes the recognition they deserve.

Описание: The photosynthetic microbes including microalgae and cyanobacteria are the most widespread photosynthetic organisms on Earth. These organisms thrive successfully in a wide range of ecological habitats, ranging from marine and freshwater to terrestrial environments. The short generation time and capability to fix the atmospheric N2 and cosmopolitan distribution make these organisms unique. Photosynthetic microbes such as cyanobacteria are used as biofertilizer for rice paddy and their application improves soil physico-chemical characteristics and the mineral nutrient status of the soil. However, in recent times they have been exploited for the production of several fine chemicals and biofuel. Due to their simple cellular organization, the bare minimum requirement of nutrients and ease of cultivation, recently the microalgae have been exploited and accompanied by the capacity to produce bio-energy, especially bio-diesel. Use of photosynthetic microbes in wastewater treatment has also generated considerable interest in the scientific community and industry at large. Bioremediation using photosynthetic microbes is an emerging area of research and the organisms accumulate or degrade several environmental contaminants and heavy metals. Because of the antagonistic properties, they are also a potential source of various bioactive compounds. In brief, the potential of photosynthetic microbes could be harnessed for economic viability and sustainability of agro-ecosystems. This book attempts to highlight the potential and prospects of the photosynthetic microbes for the welfare of mankind in view of the anticipated population explosion and global climate change.
