Summary Introduction

Microorganisms play a major role for all living beings. They are microscopic in nature and are found in air, water, and soil. They have both beneficial (nutrition and fermentation) and harmful (diseases) roles. The microorganisms are intimately associated with our daily need as foods. Fermentation of food and agricultural feedstocks with microbial source improves the quality food and prevents the spoilage.
