Product Description:
Bioremediation, the use of microorganisms to degrade, sequester, or
remove environmental contaminants, is an urgent need of our planet for
protection and restoration from toxic contaminants. This book not only
provides cutting edge information about bioremediation of aquatic and
terrestrial habitats, but also highlights the gaps in our knowledge of
the subject. Among the topics covered in this volume are those that
deal with petroleum spill bioremediation, bioremediation of heavy
metals, and the use of genetically engineered microorganisms in
bioremediation.
Synopsis
Bioremediation, the practice of degrading, sequestering
or removing environmental contaminants through the use of
microorganisms, has significant potential for beneficial applications
but also significant potential for disaster. In this collection of 11
articles, contributors describe their research in finding the most
effective means of removing contaminants while maintaining control of
the microorganisms intended to counter them. Topics include molecular
techniques of xenobiotic-degrading bacteria and their catabolic genes,
genetic engineering of bacteria, commercial use of genetically modified
organisms in bioremediation and phytoremediation, microbial surfactants
and soil remediation, and remediation of heavy metals, oils and
petroleum products, BTEX hydrocarbons, RDX and HMX, and a review of
engineering processes. Distributed in the US by Enfield. Annotation
