His research contributions relate to the area of plant-microbe interaction and microbial genomics. from Gurukul Kangri University, India, and is presently working in the Research and Development Division of Uttaranchal University, Dehradun. This book will be useful to postgraduate students, researchers from academic as well as industry working in the field of microbial exploration with keen interest in survival factors and mechanism of their survival by various ecological and functional strategies.ĭr. Raghvendra Pratap Singh is an eminent scientist in Microbial Biotechnology. These microbial associations within the microbiome provides the foundation for diverse forms of microbial ecology and determined the applied perspectives for agriculture, clinical and industrial sectors. Sometimes, it can be neutral or tritagonist. It either a competitive winner community whereas the “weaker” strain goes extinct or a competitor that coexist with their metabolic secretory potentials or a separator that assigned their own community territorial niches. This can be within the same species or with different species, or even with diverse genera and families. But they frequently appear in niche with multifaceted and interactive webs rather than the planktonic nature. These microbial communities live with extremely competitive niche and fight for their survival and genetic persistence. The interactions, further determine the productivity, stability and the ability of community to resist the environmental perturbations. These phenotypes constitute the social adaptations that drive the interactions between microbial cells. The microbial cells in communities display unique phenotypes that affect the survival and reproduction of other cells present around them.

Microbial communities are the assemblages of microorganisms of various species which live together in the same environment and continuously interact with each other. Emphasis has been made to include a wide spectrum of experimental and theoretical contributions from eminent researchers in the field. The book overviews the complex interactions amongst the microbes and their possible applications.
