This book details three main topics: the screening and
characterization of hydrocarbons from air, soil and water;
technologies in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons; and the
bioconversion of hydrocarbons for biofuel/chemicals, as well as
recent developments in the remediation of hydrocarbons and their
environmental benefits. The first section focuses on screening
methods, qualitative and quantitative analysis of hydrocarbons from
soil, air and water environments, speciation of hydrocarbons, and
natural bioremediation strategies in such environments. The second
section examines technologies for removing hydrocarbon contaminants
from various environments, especially advanced technologies for the
removal of hydrocarbons and in-situ and ex-situ remediation
strategies and problems, as well as concrete case studies. The last
section, covering the bioconversion of hydrocarbons for
biofuel/chemicals, highlights the biochemicals and bioproducts
developed from hydrocarbons, with a particular focus on biochemical
and chemical technologies used to produce biopolymers, biofuel
precursors and commodity chemicals from hydrocarbons.
This book presents the latest advances in and current research
perspectives on the field of urban/industrial solid waste recycling
for bio-energy and bio-fuel recovery. It chiefly focuses on five
main thematic areas, namely bioreactor landfills coupled with
energy and nutrient recovery; microbial insights into anaerobic
digestion; greenhouse emission assessment; pyrolysis techniques for
special waste treatment; and industrial waste stabilization
options. In addition, it compiles the results of case studies and
solid waste management perspectives from different countries.

Molecular research on algae over the last decades has provided
significant insights into universal biological mechanisms. This
knowledge has proved essential to the field of biotechnology where
research on new applications in food culture, biofuel and
pharmaceuticals is underway. This new book on algal cell biology
provides an overview of cutting-edge research with a focus on
cytoskeleton structure/function and cytokinesis of algae.
