A wide spectrum of climate, soil condition and human behaviour in the Himalaya encourages various kinds of microbes and their multifarious activity. A little and scattered information is available about the microbes of the Himalaya. In this book, an attempt has been made to compile various research and review papers on the Himalayan microbes and their activities. Each paper is written with the minimum editorial change to reflect the individuality of the author(s). The book highlights various kinds of microbes associated with water, soil, roots, leaves, fruits, seeds, bees in the Himalaya, and their importance in modern civilization.
