Sinopsis

Theáintroduction ofácontaminants, due toárapid urbanisation and anthropogenic activities, intoátheáenvironment causes unsteadiness, distress toátheáphysico-chemical systems including living organisms, which possibly is threatening theádynamics ofánature as well as theásoil biology byáproducing certain xenobiotics. Hence, there is an immediate global demand forátheádiminution ofásuch contaminants and xenobiotics which can otherwise adversely affect theáliving organisms. Some toxic xenobiotics include synthetic organochlorides such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and some fractions ofácrude oil and coal. Theáadvancements in microbiology and biotechnology has lead toátheálaunch ofámicrobial biotechnology as a separate area ofáresearch and contributed dramatically toátheádevelopment ofátheáareas likeáagriculture, environment, biopharmaceutics, fermented foods, etc. Theáevolution ofánew metabolic pathways frománatural metabolic cycles has enabled theámicroorganisms toádegrade almost all different complex and resistant xenobiotics found onáEarth. Hence, microbes stand an imperative, efficient, green and economical alternative toáconventional treatment technologies. This book comprises chapters dealing withávarious bioremediation strategies withátheáhelp ofádifferent groups ofámicroorganisms along withádetailed graphical/ diagrammatical representations. It also focuses onátheáuse ofámicrobial biotechnology and highlights theárecent developments in microbial biotechnology in theáarea ofáagriculture and environment. áFurthermore, it contains a detailed comprehensive account forátheámicrobial treatment technologies fromáunsustainable toásustainable which includes chapters prepared byáprofessionals, several researchers, scientists, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows across theáworld witháexpertise in environmental microbiology, biotechnology, bioremediation, and environmental engineering. Theáresearch presented also highlights some ofátheásignificantly important microbial species involved in remediation, theáphysiology, biochemistry and theámechanisms ofáremediation byávarious microbes, and suggestions foráfuture improvement ofábioremediation technology. This book would serve as a quick reference book forágraduate and postgraduate students pursuing their study in any branch ofálife sciences, microbiology, health sciences and environmental biotechnology as well as researchers and scientists working in laboratories and industries involved in research related toámicrobiology, environmental biotechnology and allied researches.
