Microbial Consortium and Biotransformation for Pollution Decontamination

Microbial Consortium and Biotransformation for Pollution Decontamination presents techniques for the decontamination of polluted environs through potential microbes, particularly examining the benefits of its broad applicability, sustainability, and eco-friendly nature. Utilizing global case studies to describe practical applications of the technology, the book offers insight into the latest research on advanced microbiological tools and techniques for the remediation of severe pollutants from the environment. Environmental researchers and environmental managers focusing on pollution and decontamination will find both key contextual information and practical details that are essential in understanding the use of microbial technology for combatting pollutants. Recent advancements in the field of NGS (next-generation sequencing) has allowed more detailed genomic, bioinformatics and metagenomic analyses of potential environmentally important microbes and has provided significant breakthroughs into key bio-degradative pathways. With the increase in human activities around the globe, toxic pollutants from multiple sources have contaminated the earth on a large number scale. Microbial Consortium and Biotransformation for Pollution Decontamination provides a synthesis of cutting-edge research on an increasingly important technology for addressing the growing concern of pollutants in the environment. Explores advanced microbiological tools and techniques for the remediation of severe pollutants from the environment Presents practical case studies and examples of the use of microbial technology for decontamination from across the globe Provides insight into key elements of microbiological consortia and their role in decontamination, particularly the impact of these techniques on sustainability, ecology, and economy
