Biodegradation has been the subject of active concern for the past
40 years. Recently, the field has expanded to encompass a wide
variety of chemicals, a broad array of issues, and the development
of the new bioremediation industry. This book presents the basic
principles of biodegradation and shows how these principles relate
to bioremediation. Authored by a world-renowned environmental
microbiologist, Biodegradation and Bioremediation presents
microbiological, chemical, toxicological, environmental,
engineering, and technological aspects of the subject.
* Praise for the First Edition
* "Serves an important function in presenting a complete picture of
biodegradation in the environment. I t] provides biologists,
chemists and engineers interested in this process with information
complementary to their own fields and thus belongs on the shelf of
everybody active in the study of biodegradation and
bioremediation."
* --JOURNAL OF CONTAMINANT HYDROLOGY
* "A compendious account of the field in a form accessible to
microbiologists, chemists, toxicologists and environmental
scientists and engineers. His book succeeds admirably...Well
indexed, its diagrams large and clear....It will serve as an
excellent text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses
and as an invaluable source of reference to all those with a
research interest in this expanding field."
* --SOCIETY FOR GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY QUARTERLY
* "The book could serve as a text for an upper-level or graduate
class in the principles of biodegradation and bioremediation for
microbiologists and environmental engineers. In summary, Alexander
has prepared a cogent and well-organized review of the principles
of biodegradation in a book that should prove useful to a great
many people."
* --JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
* "Provides a unity of style, and generally, an excellent
intellectual flow between topics....Alexander does a spectacular
job of addressing the kinetics of degradation reactions--the
discussion is one of the best I have seen, especially for those not
well versed in mathematics."
* --BIOSCIENCE
* "Written by a very knowledgeable scientist...A very timely
book...Recommended as a valuable resource for environmental
scientists, engineers, or other persons with an interest in the use
of organisms for environmental decontamination and a need for
better insight into the principles underlying
bioremediation."
