Current Developments in Agricultural Bio Next Generation Probiotics: Natural Therapeutics, Volume 2, (Hardcover)

<p><em>Next Generation Probiotics: Natural Therapeutics, Volume 2</em> presents a comprehensive and forward-looking exploration of probiotics as scientifically grounded natural therapeutics in modern health and disease management. Building on advances in microbiome science, biotechnology, and computational biology, this volume examines how next-generation probiotics are discovered, designed, evaluated, and applied. The book bridges foundational probiotic research with emerging technologies such as machine learning, genomics, and genetic engineering, highlighting what distinguishes next-generation probiotics from traditional formulations.</p><p>This second volume expands its scope to reflect rapid developments in probiotic science and translational applications. It integrates insights from probiotic genomics, CRISPR-Cas9 technology, microbiota-targeted foods, and personalized microbiome-based nutrition. By addressing disease-specific, strain-specific, and host-specific effects, the book provides a holistic view of how probiotics can be optimized for therapeutic efficacy. Contributions from experts across bioinformatics, microbiology, clinical research, and food science ensure a multidisciplinary and evidence-based perspective.</p><p>Key Features</p><ul> <li>Detailed coverage of machine learning applications in probiotic development and fermented dairy products (new to this edition)</li> <li>In-depth discussion of probiotic genomics, cancer associations, and CRISPR-Cas9-based strain improvement</li> <li>Exploration of emerging probiotic candidates, including<em> Akkermansia</em>, <em>Faecalibacterium</em>, <em>Ruminococcus</em>, and butyrate-producing microbes</li> <li>Comprehensive overview of novel probiotic classes such as postbiotics, parabiotics, pharmacobiotics, and immunobiotics (expanded in this edition)</li> <li>Practical insights into challenges in probiotic selection, regulation, stress tolerance, and personalized nutrition strategies</li> </ul><p>Bringing together fundamental science and applied research, <em>Next Generation Probiotics: Natural Therapeutics, Volume 2</em> serves as an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, nutritionists, food technologists, and graduate students.
