Authoritative resource presenting techniques and technologies to
sustainably neutralize environmental contamination in aquatic
plants, microorganisms, and more Two thirds of the Earth is covered
with aquatic habitats that play a key role in stabilizing the
global environment and providing a wide variety of services to
increasing human needs. Nevertheless, anthropogenic activities are
rapidly destroying the quality of both fresh and marine waters
globally, due to excessive use of chemicals, fertilizers and
pollution from suburban and industrial areas eventually making
their way into the aquatic world. Aquatic Contamination: Tolerance
and Bioremediation presents the broader spectrum of biological
applicability of microbes with better understanding of cellular
mechanisms for remediation of aquatic contaminants. The book also
focuses on practices involved in molecular and genetic approaches,
necessary to achieve targets of bioremediation and phytoremediation
to solve global water contamination problems. Such approaches pave
the way for the utilization of biological assets to design new,
efficient, and environmentally sound remediation strategies by
inculcating genomic techniques at cellular and molecular levels
with model assessment. Aquatic Contamination provides a
comprehensive background for readers interested in all perspectives
of the contamination of aquatic environs. It covers various
research aspects which are being carried out globally to understand
simulation models in the assessment of xenobiotics, role of
genomics, transgenic plants, and microbial enzymes for degradation
and removal of toxic substances in aquatic environs. Key features
include: Extensive coverage of interactions between plant, metals
and microbes including the influence of biotic and abiotic factors
Comprehensive discussion of the details of molecular mechanisms
from assimilation to detoxification levels Exploration of the
enzymatic approaches of potential plants acting as
hyper-accumulators for contaminants in aquatic environs Details of
sustainable tools such as transgenic plants for the manipulation of
important functional microbial genes to achieve higher certainty of
bioremediation Details of advances in tools and models like
micro-arrays and simulation models for the complete assessment of
xenobiotic compounds from cellular to degradation hierarchies
Aquatic Contamination: Tolerance and Bioremediation will be
substantially helpful to environmentalists, microbiologists,
biotechnologists and scientists, providing essential information on
various modern technologies for the remediation of contaminants in
aquatic ecosystems.
