The principal objective of the book-Microbial Toxins and Toxigenic Microbes is to provide an updated and authentic source of information on diverse aspects of microbial toxins and toxigenic microbes to satisfy the academic needs of broad-spectrum of audience/readers. The chapters of the book reflect the ever-increasing breadth and depth of knowledge regarding microbial toxins and toxigenic microbes. The book contains 27 chapters, focussing on different aspects, both negative and positive, of toxins produced by bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi (including mushrooms). The contributors of chapters of the book include experienced academicians, doctors and researchers working in different medical and non-medical academic/research institutions in India. The prospective audience/readers of the book include post-graduate students, researchers and teachers in General Microbiology, Medical Microbiology, Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology, Food Microbiology, Toxicology and Plant Pathology.
