Genetically Engineered Organisms in Bioremediation provides
comprehensive coverage of biotechnological applications of
genetically engineered microorganisms for the bioremediation of
polluted environments. Chapters are contributed by international
scientists with in-depth knowledge, expertise, vision, and
commitment in their scientific profession. They detail several
genetically engineered microorganisms and their enzymes that could
be applied to biologically break down persistent organic pollutants
and recombinant DNA technologies which entail development of
‘suicidal-GEMs’ for effective and safe rejuvenation of heavily
polluted sites. Features: • Highlights genes that encode
catabolic enzymes involved in the biodegradation of pollutants. •
Explores combining genetically engineered microorganisms with
bioaugmentation, biostimulation and bioattenuation strategies. •
Details the application of genetic engineering of bacteria for
managing aromatic organic compounds under hypoxic conditions. •
Discusses tracking techniques and suppression strategies of
genetically modified microorganisms. Written for researchers,
engineers and academics working in bioremediation, microbiology and
biotechnology, this book is both timely and important.
