Biotechnology has been quite helpful in keeping pace with the demands of every increasing human population and in improving the quality of human life. Major biotechnological achievements associated with human welfare have been from the fields like genetic engineering; transgenic plants and animals; genomics, proteomics, monoclonal antibodies for the diagnosis of disease, gene therapy etc. Fourteen authoritative chapters written by experts...

This book details the advances that have revolutionized the field of biotechnology. It also includes coverage of the potential benefits and risks involved in producing biotechnological products and the challenges of bringing such products to market.

Phosphorus (P) is the second major nutrient after nitrogen that limits plant growth. It is one of the least available and the least mobile nutrient for the plants in the soil. Use of chemical fertilizer has led to health and environmental hazard. Many soil microorganisms (viz., bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi) have the ability to solubilize inorganic phosphatic compounds and make them available to growing plants. Phosphate solubilizing fungi (PSF) are superior to their bacterial and actinomycetes counterpart for P solubilzation both on precipitated agar and in liquid. These fungi can be...
