Biodegradative Bacteria highlights the novel nature of bacterial
cell functions in the field of biodegradation by putting them into
three parts: (1) Genetic and genomic systems, (2) Degradative
enzyme systems, and (3) Bacterial behavior in natural environmental
systems. The first part of the book includes cell functions as
degradative machinery, genome systems for effective degradation,
and the evolution of degradative systems by mobile genetic
elements. The second part deals with the structure, function,
evolution, diversity, and application of degradative and related
enzymes. The third part presents cell or genomic behaviors of
biodegradative bacteria in natural ecosystems. Bacterial metabolic
capacity, which plays an important role in the global material
cycle, contributes significantly to the buffering capacity for the
huge and unintended release of various chemicals. Recently,
however, the prosperity and globalization of material civilization
has led not only to severe local contamination by hazardous
chemicals, but also to continuous increment of contaminant
concentrations worldwide. To solve such urgent global issues,
bacterial functions that are involved in biodegradation of
hazardous chemicals have been analyzed. The term "biodegradative
bacteria" refers to those bacteria that have the ability to degrade
such xenobiotic (man-made) and/or hazardous chemicals. Analyses of
biodegradative bacteria include diverse areas of study, such as
genetics, enzymology, genomics, cell physiology, ecology, and
evolutionary biology. In other words, the targets investigated in
research on biodegradative bacteria include single molecules,
single cell systems, bacterial consortia (interaction with
surrounding microorganisms), and interaction with surrounding
biotic and abiotic materials. Such complexity makes the research on
biodegradative bacteria difficult but quite interesting.
