About this ebook

"Probiogenomics and Probiomics: Concepts, Techniques, Applications, and Achievements" is a pioneering reference book that marks a significant milestone in the emerging fields of probiogenomics and probiomics. As the first comprehensive resource in these disciplines, the book offers a detailed exploration of how genetic insights and omics technologies are revolutionizing our understanding of probiotics and their application in health and disease. Spanning three detailed sections, the book begins by grounding readers in the fundamental concepts of probiotics, including their roles in health enhancement and disease prevention. It progresses into a deep dive into advanced genomic and post-genomic technologies, revealing how these tools are used to dissect and harness the health-promoting capacities of probiotics. From the structure and function of probiotic genomes to the cutting-edge applications in synthetic biology and multi-omics, the book encapsulates the latest advancements and methodologies in the field. The final sections focus on the practical and clinical applications of these microbial marvels, discussing their impact on healthcare, biotechnology, and therapeutics. Whether it's developing new biotechnological products or enhancing therapeutic efficacy, this book covers a broad spectrum of applications, making it an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals involved in drug and probiotics development. With contributions from over ten global experts, "Probiogenomics and Probiomics" not only educates but also inspires, providing a thorough understanding of modern probiogenomics and its potential to shape the future of personalized medicine and healthcare.• Offers the first complete guide to probiogenomics and probiomics, providing foundational knowledge, advanced techniques, and the latest research outcomes in the rapidly evolving field of probiotics.• Details state-of-the-art genomic and multi-omics approaches, from transcriptomics to metabolomics, showcasing their application in understanding and enhancing the functionality of probiotics.• Highlights the practical implementation of probiogenomic studies in developing new biotechnological products and enhancing healthcare therapies, making it invaluable for professionals in both academic and industry settings.• Integrates insights from genetics, microbiology, bioinformatics, and healthcare to foster a comprehensive understanding of how probiotics can be optimized for health promotion and therapeutic interventions.
