Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, Virulence, and Evolution covers different aspects of microbial genomics, metagenomics, and functional studies of microbes that have provided a significant understanding of microbial-host interactions, virulence function, host adaptation mechanisms, including microbial evolution. Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, virulence, and Evolution is a comprehensive source on the latest updates and applications of microbial genomics information to understand the plant, microbe interaction, host adaptation, virulence nature of the infectious pathogen, microbial evolution, host-pathogen interactions contribute to shaping the genetic diversity of both organisms. Sections include an introduction to Microbial Genomics, followed by sections on Plant Microbiome, Genome Editing Prospecting and Approaches, Microbial virulanse and disease incidence. The final section of the book covers Microbial Genomics and evolutionary concepts. “Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, virulence, and Evolution” is a valuable resource for faculty members, researchers, and undergraduate and postgraduate students at universities, medical research labs, industries, and government agencies that are interested in the microbial science specific to the microbial genome, virulence function of pathogenic microbes, host adaptation, evolution of microbes, and all other disciplines related to molecular microbiology.

Li, Wen-Jun
Wen-Jun Li received his PhD in microbiology from Shenyang Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently working as Distinguished Professor in School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China. His research mainly focuses on microbial diversity under those unusual environments, by using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods, as well as mechanisms of extremophilic microbes to adapt those unusual environments. He was awarded the WFCC (The World Federation for Culture Collections) Skerman award for microbial taxonomy in 2007, and other six provincial and ministry level awards for his outstanding research contributions on the field of microbial systematics and microbial ecology. He has successfully trained more than 150 graduate students and postdoc level students in the field of microbial taxonomy and microbial ecology at home and abroad countries.
