Focusing on the isolation and optimization of secondary metabolites from Streptomyces spp. found in marine environments, this book evaluates their effectiveness against pathogenic bacteria. It details various laboratory experiments designed to replicate the natural habitat conditions of these bacteria, including temperature, light, time, and nutrient requirements, to enhance the production of their beneficial metabolites.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of security in the widely adopted, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The authors present the fundamental principles of RFID cryptography in a manner accessible to a broad range of readers, enabling them to improve their RFID security design. This book also offers the reader a range of interesting topics portraying the current state-of-the-art in RFID technology and how it can be integrated with today’s Internet of Things (IoT) vision. The authors describe a first-of-its-kind, lightweight symmetric authenticated encryption cipher called Redundant Bit Security (RBS), which enables significant, multi-faceted performance improvements compared to existing cryptosystems. This book is a must-read for anyone aiming to overcome the constraints of practical implementation in RFID security technologies.
