APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY
$11.99This textbook, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, provides a comprehensive and integrated introduction to the fundamental principles and practical applications of microbiology. Designed for first-year Master’s students, the book bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications across two complementary domains: applied microbiology and environmental microbiology.
The first part focuses on the controlled use of microorganisms in laboratory and industrial settings, covering bacterial growth, culture techniques, microbial control methods, and bioreactor technology. It emphasizes both classical and modern approaches to microbial quantification and manipulation.
The second part explores microorganisms within natural ecosystems, highlighting their diversity, metabolic capabilities, and ecological roles. It examines methods for studying environmental microbes, their involvement in biogeochemical cycles, and their impact on water quality and public health.
By combining mechanistic understanding with applied perspectives, this book equips students with essential skills in microbial cultivation, analysis, and environmental assessment, while fostering awareness of the role of microbiology in sustainable development and environmental protection.

Microbiological Control Techniques
$9.99Microbiological Control Techniques presents a comprehensive and applied framework for ensuring microbiological safety and quality in food systems. The book integrates theoretical foundations with practical laboratory protocols, focusing on essential processes such as sampling, enumeration, identification, and implementation of microbiological control throughout the food production chain.
It highlights both classical and advanced analytical methods, including rapid detection technologies, and emphasizes the importance of preventive systems such as HACCP in managing food safety risks. Designed primarily for third-year undergraduate students in microbiology and food sciences, the book also serves laboratory professionals and quality control specialists by bridging academic knowledge with real-world applications in the food industry.

Proceedings of the First National Seminar on Health & Food Safety
$11.99The Abstract Book of the First National Seminar on Health and Food Safety brings together a wide range of peer-reviewed scientific contributions addressing critical issues at the intersection of human health, microbiology, biotechnology, and food safety. Organized by the Department of Microbiology and Biochemistry at Mohamed Boudiaf University of M’sila, the seminar aims to strengthen scientific dialogue, promote applied research, and support evidence-based public health and food safety policies.
The proceedings highlight contemporary challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, foodborne pathogens, nosocomial infections, bioactive natural compounds, and risk assessment in food systems. Contributions employ diverse methodologies, including classical microbiology, molecular biology, phytochemistry, metagenomics (16S rRNA), predictive microbiology, and quantitative risk assessment.
The book is structured around two main themes: Microorganisms and Human Health and Microorganisms and Food Safety, featuring oral communications and poster presentations. Collectively, these works provide insights into pathogen surveillance, therapeutic potentials of medicinal plants and essential oils, microbial ecology of traditional foods, and strategies to enhance food quality, safety, and sustainability.
Overall, the volume serves as a valuable scientific reference for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to advance integrated approaches to health protection and food safety.
