The introduction of contaminants, due to rapid urbanisation and
anthropogenic activities, into the environment causes unsteadiness,
distress to the physico-chemical systems including living
organisms, which possibly is threatening the dynamics of nature as
well as the soil biology by producing certain xenobiotics. Hence,
there is an immediate global demand for the diminution of such
contaminants and xenobiotics which can otherwise adversely affect
the living organisms. Some toxic xenobiotics include synthetic
organochlorides such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
and some fractions of crude oil and coal. The advancements in
microbiology and biotechnology has lead to the launch of microbial
biotechnology as a separate area of research and contributed
dramatically to the development of the areas like agriculture,
environment, biopharmaceutics, fermented foods, etc. The evolution
of new metabolic pathways from natural metabolic cycles has enabled
the microorganisms to degrade almost all different complex and
resistant xenobiotics found on Earth. Hence, microbes stand an
imperative, efficient, green and economical alternative to
conventional treatment technologies. This book comprises chapters
dealing with various bioremediation strategies with the help of
different groups of microorganisms along with detailed graphical/
diagrammatical representations. It also focuses on the use of
microbial biotechnology and highlights the recent developments in
microbial biotechnology in the area of agriculture and environment.
Furthermore, it contains a detailed comprehensive account for the
microbial treatment technologies from unsustainable to sustainable
which includes chapters prepared by professionals, several
researchers, scientists, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows
across the world with expertise in environmental microbiology,
biotechnology, bioremediation, and environmental engineering. The
research presented also highlights some of the significantly
important microbial species involved in remediation, the
physiology, biochemistry and the mechanisms of remediation by
various microbes, and suggestions for future improvement of
bioremediation technology. This book would serve as a quick
reference book for graduate and postgraduate students pursuing
their study in any branch of life sciences, microbiology, health
sciences and environmental biotechnology as well as researchers and
scientists working in laboratories and industries involved in
research related to microbiology, environmental biotechnology and
allied researches.
