This book addresses sustainable solutions to problems in various environments using microorganisms dwelling in the soil and sustainable approaches applicable now and in the future. It focuses on the role of the soil microbiome—a rich community of beneficial bacteria and fungi—in green technology for a safe environment. This volume delves into the dynamics between the soil ecosystem and microorganisms; their interrelationships; and man’s role in maintaining soil health and quality.The chapters cover topics such as pollution control, enhancing soil fertility, climate change mitigation, biocontrol of pathogens, and nanotechnology applications. The authors provide an expert analysis of how these microbial communities contribute to green technological sustainability. Readers will find contributions by renowned scholars who explore these themes through empirical research and practical case studies. The book highlights how these microorganisms can be major players in nature-based solutions while shifting perceptions from harmful to beneficial roles.Soil Microbiome in Green Technology Sustainability is essential reading for researchers, scholars, practitioners, students at all levels, and anyone interested in environmental science or biotechnology. It offers valuable insights into using microbial capabilities for sustainable development across various industrial sectors. This volume is particularly relevant for those involved in renewable energy, recycling, carbon capturing, storage technologies, or any field seeking eco-friendly solutions to global challenges.

, is a Ph.D holder in Environmental Microbiology in the Department of Microbiology, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria. He obtained his first degree (B.Tech) and Master Degree (M.Tech) from the same department in 2009 and 2014 respectively.  He has demonstrated his research expert in the production of vermicasts from vermicoposting (Vermitechnology) of organic wastes to assist plants in the remediation of polluted soil with heavy metals. Currently, he is a Lecturer at the Department of Microbiology, University of Abuja, Nigeria. His area of interest is Environmental Microbiology with research area in phytoremediation, vermicomposting, biosorption and bioremediation of soil contaminated environment. He is an award-winning researcher and has over 80 publications including book chapters, research and review articles of good international repute with high impact factor. He has co-edited scientific books of global interest which include microbial biotechnology for bioenergy (Elsevier). Ecological interplays in microbial enzymology, prospects for soil regeneration and its impact on environmental protection (Springer). Microbial biofilms – applications and control, marine greens: environmental, agricultural, industrial and biomedical applications, Emerging Contaminants in Food and Food Products, Phytoremediation in Food Safety: Risks and Prospects (CRC Press) with many more in the process. Also, has worked to the rank of an assistant chief scientific officer at Bioresources Development Centre, National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency, Nigeria where he was involved in the uses of vinasse (a by-product of ethanol) as bio-fertilizer to reclaim polluted soil for agricultural purposes. Abiodun is a member of Nigerian Society for Microbiology and American Society for Microbiology among others.
 Habiba I. Atta
 is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. Her area of specialization is Environmental Microbiology, and she conducted postdoctoral research at Rutgers University, United States as a Fulbright scholar. The research was focused on studying aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria using whole genome sequencing and other molecular tools, and it was targeted at harnessing beneficial soil bacteria in the removal of pollutants from the environment as a sustainable approach in remediating polluted ecosystems. She was a beneficiary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund postgraduate scholarship, (Nigeria) for her PhD research in the molecular characterization of soil bacteria with potential for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation. She has authored several peer-reviewedjournal articles, contributed to book publications and served as a guest contributor to the blog of the American Society for Microbiology. Habiba is passionate about science communication and is the Managing Editor of the West African Journal of Microbiology, an Associate Editor and Book Reviewer for Fulbright Chronicles, and a member of the Colloquium committee in the Faculty of Life Sciences, Ahmadu Bello University. She is a strong advocate for STEM education and is currently the Institutional Coordinator of the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing world (OWSD), Ahmadu Bello University Branch. She is a member of the Nigerian Society for Microbiology, American Society for Microbiology, Society for General Microbiology, and 500 Women Scientists.
