Reihe: Emerging Materials and Technologies

This book approaches the topic of environmental biotechnology in a clear, integrated, and meaningful way, covering both the fundamentals and biochemical processes involved, as well as the technologies themselves within different areas of application. As part of the framework, it also provides a thorough description of the pollution and its control, and the role of microorganisms in a wide range of ecosystems and deterioration processes.

Features:

- Focuses on the role of microorganisms in a wide range of ecosystems and deterioration processes.

- Explains underlying concepts of environment, interlinks them from an ecological point of view, and describes the approaches for waste treatment.

- Describes the concepts and fate processes of environmental contaminants, contaminant patterns in soil, groundwater, and surface water.

- Includes novel research findings and applications of biosurfactants.

- Discusses biodegradation as a key process in the bioremediation of recalcitrant compounds.

This book is aimed at Primarily Senior Undergraduates including Graduate Students and Researchers in Biotechnology, Environmental Science/Engineering, Conservation Biology, Microbiology, Waste Management, and Ecology.
