The use of marine organisms to degrade a variety of natural and
synthetic substances in the marine environment, thereby reducing
the levels of hazardous compounds, is increasingly drawing
attention because of the potential such bioremediation has for
environmental restoration. Among the current research efforts in
bioremediation are some directed towards identifying organisms that
possess the ability to degrade specific pollutants. With such
organisms, which have already been identified, biochemical studies
are going on with the aim of elucidating the pathways of these
degradative processes and the enzymes involved. The volume includes
chapters that are devoted to petroleum spill bioremediation, use of
spectroscopy to identify microbial metabolic pathways,
detoxification of mercury by using recombinant mercury-resistant
bacteria, and the use of manganese-oxidizing bacteria for
bioremediation. A broad-based approach to bioremediation of marine
habitats is required because of the wide variety of contaminants in
our oceans.
