Fungal Cellulases Production for Biodegradation of Agriculture Waste
(Springer, 2018) Neha Srivastava; Manish Srivastava; Ambepu Manikanta; P.W. Ramteke; Ram Lakhan Singh; P.K. Mishra; S.N. Upadhyay
Cellulases have several existing and potential applications in various industries including biofuel, pulp and paper, detergent, juice, and textile. Different enzyme components found in the cellulase system can effectively depolymerize the cellulose into monomeric sugars. Fungi are regarded as an ideal candidate to produce a complete cellulase system. Cellulase production via solid-state fermentation (SSF) using fungi is one of the most desirable and cost-effective routes. The present chapter provides an outline on the major steps of fungal cellulase production using SSF. This chapter presents a concise account of fungal cellulases as well as their production and key role in bioconversion of lignocellulosic waste. Various aspects of fungal cellulase production using the agriculture wastes and their components have been discussed. Additionally, potential fungal sources of cellulase along with effective bioconversion of agricultural biomass are also summarized. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2018.
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria: strategies to improve abiotic stresses under sustainable agriculture
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2019) A. Kumar; J.S. Patel; V.S. Meena; P.W. Ramteke
The abiotic stresses like drought, heavy metal and salts directly or indirectly influence the global environmental pollution and decrease the agricultural productivity. The stress tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) play an important role against the abiotic stresses in terms of enhancing the efficacy of soil, plant growth promotion (PGP). Stress tolerance PGPRs have certain specific PGP properties such as hormones synthesis, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, Abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis, enzymes production, nitrogen fixation, phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) solubilization, as results which protect various crops during such stress conditions and consequently enhance crop sustainability. Efficient PGPRs isolated from various stress conditions have certainly, more useful against that particular stress. This article highlighted the isolation of various stresses tolerant PGPRs from varieties of crops under different stress conditions and their effect on varieties of crops to enhance their plant growth promotion. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
