Microbial biodegradation of non-metals pollutants plays a pivotal
role in the bioremediation of contaminated soil and groundwater
sites. Such pollutants include chloroethenes, steroids,
organophosphorus compounds, alkanes, PAHs, and PCBs. In this
important book, international experts exhaustively review this
topic from a biochemical and genetic viewpoint, providing a timely
overview of current research. Topics covered include: enzymatic
biodegradation reactions * the impact of bioturbation on
hydrocarbon dynamics in marine sediments * the structure, function,
and biodiversity of ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases involved in PAH
biodegradation * strategies to engineer PCB-degrading bacteria *
PCB-degrading plant-microbe systems strategies * the structure,
regulation, and diversity of microbial genes encoding
biodegradative enzymes. In addition, there are excellent reviews
detailing the application of the state-of-the-art molecular
technologies to study biodegradative processes. The technologies
covered are community fingerprinting, molecular detection of
degradative genes, and metagenomics for the analysis and monitoring
of microorganisms in situ. These are complemented well by the
fascinating reviews of the catabolic plasmids and mobile genetic
elements involved in bioremediation, including discussions on the
origin and evolution of these catabolic pathways to different
genera. In addition, the best procedures for the evaluation and
design of relevant in situ remediation strategies are examined and
classical ex-situ technologies such Landfarming, Composting,
Biopiling, and Slurry-phase bioremediation are described. This book
is a vital reference resource for research scientists, graduate
students, and other specialists interested on microbial
bioremediation of organic pollutants, and it is recommended reading
for environmental microbiologists, chemists, and engineers.
