This edited book focuses on the application and implementation of
bioremediation and other strategies to create a sustainable and
healthy environment. It provides a collection of approaches to
environmental biotechnology for wastewater treatment, removal of
soil heavy metals, degradation of pesticides, removal of dyes,
waste management, and microbial conversion of environmental
pollutants. This book brings to the fore contributions of certain
globally important environmental biotechnologist. Bioremediation is
a popular branch of biotechnology that involves the use of living
organisms such as microorganisms (microbial remediation), bacteria,
fungus (mycoremediation), and plants (phytoremediation) to bind,
extract, and clean up contaminants, pollutants, and toxins from
soil, groundwater, and other environments. This book is of interest
to researchers, scientists, and academic faculty in environmental
sciences. Also, it serves as additional reading and reference
material for undergraduate and graduate students as well as
postdocs in environmental, agriculture, ecology, and soil sciences.
National and International policy makers will also find valuable
information from this book.Â

information on Enzymatic Biotransformation and Biopolymer based
nanocomposites for dye waste treatment, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal
Fungi assisted Bioremediation of heavy metals, Coir Retting and
Duckweeds: The Tiny Creatures for Resolving the Major Environmental
Issues. It is a promising book for researchers, academicians,
teachers, students, industrial enterprises, policy makers, public
health officials and general users. The book is closely aligned to
curricula of post graduate courses in biotechnology, microbiology,
environmental biotechnology and environmental science.
The use of fossil fuels results in rising CO2 and other greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions, causing global temperature rise and climate
change that will negatively impact human health, the food supply,
and eventually worsen hunger and misery. Presently, fossil fuels
meet 88% of the energy demand, resulting in rising CO2/GHG
emissions at alarming rates. The increased use of biofuels would
help to mitigate climate change. Efficiently designing methods for
the production of biofuels and plant-derived high-value products
requires a deeper understanding of photosynthetic processes as a
prerequisite for applying novel biotechnologies. Accordingly, this
book provides ample information and a wealth of illustrative
examples. The book's eighteen richly illustrated chapters are
divided into three thematic parts. I: Photosynthesis and Biomass
Production under Changing Conditions, II: Microalgae and Engineered
Crops for Production of Biofuels and High-value Products, and III:
Genetic Resources and Engineering Methods to Improve Crop Plants.
Readers will find the latest information on the molecular basis of
photosynthetic processes in plants (including the regulatory
principles that allow plants to maintain homeostasis under changing
conditions), stress resistance and synthetic pathways. In addition,
the basic principles of important biotechnologies, as well as
examples of specially designed crops capable of growing under
stress conditions with improved productivity, are presented. The
book sets the course for future research in the field of biofuel
development and production and provides both general and specific
information for students, teachers, academic researchers,
industrial teams, and general readers who are interested in new
developments concerning the production of biofuels with value-added
properties.

Carrots are among a few crops storing free sugars (sucrose,
fructose and glucose) in their roots, not starch. The sugar types
are controlled by a single dominant gene Rs (for reducing sugar).
In this PhD dissertation turned book, the author described the use
of molecular technology to study the genes for several sugar
metabolism enzymes in two near-isogenic carrot lines, Rs/Rs and
rs/rs, which accumulate glucose plus fructose and sucrose,
respectively. Using molecular approaches, the author reveals the
candidate gene responsible for the sugar type accumulation in
mature carrot roots. In addition, the author also described how to
further deploy a strategy to rapidly identify and predict the sugar
types in the mature carrot roots from early-stage seedlings by a
simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers designed from
the DNA sequences of the mutant (rs) and the wild type (Rs)
alleles. Research on genetic transformation of carrot was also
performed and discussed. This book will interest biology
researchers, students and an audience interested in learning how to
use modern molecular technology to study genes associated with
specific traits.
