Books by Venkatesh Gorla

The present book entitled 'Introduction to Microbiology and Microbial Diversity' is designed for students of Microbiology and other Science students a text that describes and illustrates the basics of microbiology in a concise, user friendly and interesting manner. The efforts are made to exploit the potential of microbial systems in development of Industry, Medicine, Agriculture and forestry etc. The language is simple keeping in view the limitation that an average Indian student faces. Microbiology is like sand, blowing away with time. I have made an attempt to arrange diverse areas of microbiology in a simple manner. I do not intend to write an advanced treatise on microorganisms. Rather, i have concentrated on basic concepts of microbiology. There are 20 Chapters are included and by reading this text, i hope the readers, beside basic concepts, will also gain an overview of the current status of many diverse and interesting aspects of modern microbiology.
