Abstract | ||||
A shift towards the sustainability is an urge of the society nowadays as current earth environment is deteriorated. The anthropogenic activities including industrialization, afforestation, utilization of chemicals and release of pollutants without treatment into the water and land are the major reason for deteriorated health of the earth. Due to the deteriorated health, required resources such as agricultural productivity, pharmaceutical and food products is majorly affected. The depleted production of the resources end up using synthetic fertilizers in various fields which helps in the increased the production but on the other hand it effects the environment. The past two decades extensive surge in publications have been published. Despite huge research for the sustainability, still this concept remained open with myriad interpretations. Microbial biotechnology, the multidisciplinary area is rapidly growing sector for diversified applications in the agriculture, environment and pharmaceutical sectors. In agricultural sector, microbial biotechnology sectors helps in the production of the sustainable crops. Using the microbial biotechnological techniques different biofertilizers and biopesticides which could substitute the chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Biofertilizers and biopesticides could be developed by the plant growth promoting microbes which exhibits various beneficial traits such as fixation and solubilization of essential macro- and micronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc), chelation of nutrients (iron), production of hydrolytic enzymes, hydrogen cyanides, antibiotics, and secondary metabolites. In environment, microbial biotechnology helps in the sustaining the deteriorated environment. | ||||
