 | Environmental Biotechnology: Fundamentals to Modern Techniques Subjects: Bioscience; Engineering & Technology; Biotechnology; Microbiology; Chemical Engineering; Civil Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering; Biotechnology; Pollution; Waste & Recycling; Water Engineering; 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 role of microorganisms in a wide range of ecosystems and deterioration processes. Features: Focusses 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 compoundsThis book aims at Primarily Senior Undergraduate including Graduate Students and Researchers in Biotechnology, Environmental Science/Engineering, Conservation Biology, Microbiology, Waste Management, and Ecology.
