Abstract

Sustainable agriculture development through microbial biotechnology describes how specific techniques can be used to generalize the metabolism of bacteria that optimize biologic improvement strategies and bio transport processes. Microbial biotechnology focuses on microbes of agricultural, environmental, industrial, and clinical significance. This includes several methods based on molecular genetics, systems and biology of synthetic, genomic, proteomic, and metagenomic. Recent developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology have created a highly potential research area. The soil and plant microbiomes have a significant role in plant growth promotion, crop yield, soil health and fertility for sustainable developments. The microbes provide nutrients and stimulate plant growth through different mechanisms including solubilization of phosphorus, potassium and zinc; biological nitrogen fixation; production of siderophore, ammonia, HCN and other secondary metabolites which are antagonistic against pathogenic microbes. This review covers about diversity of microbiomes associated the crops and their biotechnological role in crop improvements under the normal as well as stress conditions. It includes the sections on diversity of plant microbiomes, plant growth promoting mechanisms and role in soil health and fertility for sustainable agriculture and environments
