The term Biotec hnology was coined by
karl Ereky a Hungarian engineer in 1919. This term is derived from a fusion of
Biology and Technology Biotechnology is not a pure science but an integrated
affect of these two areas, the root of which lies in biological sciences.The

This book presents an introductory overview of
Actinobacteria with three main divisions: taxonomic principles, bioprospecting,
and agriculture and industrial utility, which covers isolation, cultivation
methods, and identification of Actinobacteria and production and
biotechnological potential of antibacterial compounds and enzymes from
Actinobacteria. This book will be beneficial for the graduate students,
teachers, researchers, biotechnologists, and other professionals, who are
interested to fortify and expand their knowledge about Actinobacteria in the
field of Microbiology, Biotechnology, Biomedical Science, Plant Science,
Agriculture, Plant pathology, Environmental Science, etc.
The purpose of this report is to create greater awareness of the
opportunities to reduce hunger and improve nutrition in developing countries
through the application of biotechnology to widely practiced methods of food
preparation and preservation.
