Stressing the potential application of biochemical processes in
soil to environmental biotechnology, this state-of-the-art
reference considers the vital role that such biochemical processes
have in the environment - emphasizing the activity of
micro-organisms in soil.;An up-to-date analysis of biological
reactions in soil, Volume 8 of Soil Biochemistry highlights:
traditional as well as molecular and immunlogical techniques for
detecting specific micro-organisms in soil; the fate of introduced
genetically-modified organisms; the problem of competition by the
indigenous microbial populations with the introduced organisms; the
use of a white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, for
bioremediative purposes in soil; the interaction of xenobiotics,
such as pesticides, with soil organisms; generic microbial
metabolism and degradation pathways; the inhibition of the
nitrification process by allelochemicals released by plants; the
microbial mineralization of various compounds under anaerobic
conditions, explaining its importance in the global carbon cycle;
the formation of soil organic matter, particularly in forest soils;
and CPMAS 13C-NMR spectroscopy, a major analytical technique to
determine the chemicals or chemical groups involved in the
humification process.;Presenting a multidisciplinary approach to
the field by internationally acclaimed scientists, Soil
Biochemistry, Volume 8 is intended for professionals and students
in the fields of soil science; microbiology; biochemistry;
environmental science, engineering and technology; biogeochemistry;
biotechnology; agronomy; plant pathology; and microbial ecology.
