Pollution of the environment with organic compounds, mostly due to
industrial ac- tivities, has become a major environmental issue.
The situation is getting worse due to the continued release of
large amounts of chemicals and the broadening of the spectrum of
xenobiotics that to which the biosphere is exposed to. The field of
biodegradation and bioremediation has experienced a dynamic and in-
tense period of development during the last few years, encompassing
all its different disci- plines: Isolation and characterization of
new microorganisms with novel catabolic activities, understanding
the specific enzymatic mechanisms underlying biodegradation,
rational design of genetically engineered degrading microorganisms,
and studying the in- teraction of the degrading organism with
biotic and abiotic components within the envi- ronment to allow
development of efficient bioremediation processes. nd This book,
devoted to the proceedings of the 42 OHOLO Conference on "Novel
Approaches for Bioremediation of Organic Pollution" which was held
in Eilat, Israel, in May 1998, obviously does not cover the full
range of bioremediation research. However, an attempt has been made
to address the major issues in bioremediation of organic pollu-
tion. The four sessions of the conference covered a wide spectrum
of topics, from the lab research-characterization of enzymes and
pathways, genetic design of degradative mi- croorganisms, to the
field application issues-bioaccessibility, bioavailability, process
de- velopment and field studies.
