This edited volume provides a comprehensive view of the recent developments on Bacillus and their application in agriculture and allied sectors in a global scenario. Research articles sharing a consolidated state-of-the-art development in this area are solicited for this book. This book is a complete package covering all spheres of diversity and taxonomy, nutrient supplementation, biotic and abiotic stress management, biofilm and endophytic colonization, commercialization and regulatory mechanisms, etc. Descriptions of cutting-edge techniques and novel approaches on Bacillus research is also covered. A part of the book concentrates on the biotic and abiotic stress management in several important crops. It contains 11 contributory chapters from eminent experts in the field of life sciences specially microbiology, plant pathology and biotechnology working on different aspects of Bacilli and their application in agriculture and allied sectors. This book is useful for Graduate, Post-graduate students, research scholars, and post doctorate scholars of plant science, plant microbiology, soil microbiology and plant pathology discipline researchers, academicians, industrialists, policy makers.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Vellaichamy Mageshwaran is presently working as a Senior Scientist in Microbial Technology Lab, ICAR-National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms, Uttar Pradesh, India. He is specialized in the field of Soil Microbiology, Fermentation Technology and cotton biomass and by-products utilization. His current research interests are bacterial endophytes, bio-control of economically important plant pathogens and lignocellulosic biomass utilization. He had undergone international training on “Fermentation Technology” at University of North Carolina, USA in 2013. Some of his notable research achievements are rapid composting of cotton stalks, microbial degossypolization of cottonseed meal and eco-friendly enzymatic process for absorbent cotton preparation. These technologies were successfully commercialized to the potential stakeholders. He has trained more than 500 cotton growers on composting and oyster mushroom cultivation technology. He has published more than 80 research articles in national and international reputed journals. To his contribution in his field of research, he has been awarded with ISCI best research paper award 2014, best employee award 2017, Doordarshan Sahyadri Krishi Sanman Award 2019, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Award for Scientific Excellence 2020 among many others.

Dr Udai B. Singh is presently working as a Senior Scientist in the Plant-Microbe Interaction & Rhizosphere Biology Lab, ICAR-National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms, Mau, Uttar Pradesh, India. His specialized areas are Plant-Microbe interactions in the rhizosphere with special reference to biotic and abiotic stress management, molecular biology, biotechnology and plant pathology. As an active researcher, Dr Singh has published many research and review articles in the journals of national and international reputes and book chapters in edited books. He has developed some microbial-based bioformulations/technologies for sustainable crop production. His team has developed databases and web-based portals for public use.
