Publisher: Caister Academic Press Limited
Release Date: 2011
Expert international authors review the field of microbial bioremediation of non-metal pollutants from a biochemical and genetic viewpoint, providing a timely overview of current research. Such pollutants include chloroethenes, steroids, organophosphorus compounds, alkanes, PAHs and PCBs. Topics include: enzymatic biodegradation reactions; the impact of bioturbation on hydrocarbon dynamics in marine sediments; the structure, function and biodiversity of ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases involved in PAH biodegradation; strategies to engineer PCB-degrading bacteria; PCB-degrading plant-microbe systems strategies, etc.
Heavy Metals in the Environment
This book serves as a knowledge bank for researchers and graduate students in microbiology, chemistry, and environmental sciences, among others. It focuses on heavy metal in the environment and describes methodologies to immobilize and mobilize heavy metals. It also provides case studies which may be of particular interest to persons in industry.
