Zusatztext
"The book covers the broad environmental pollution control approach such as bioremediation, biodegradation of industrial wastes, biomolecules production from the industrial wastes, bioprocess engineering, phytoremediation etc. So this book will be highly useful for the finding out of the solutions for many environmental related issues."—Dr. G. Sekaran, CSIR-Central Leather Research Institute, India"This book covers most of the recent areas of bioremediation. All chapters give information regarding role of microbes and plants, and their consortium for the degradation of recalcitrant chemicals. It also covers the advances in basic knowledge as well recent technologies in environmental biotechnology."—Prof. S.P. Govindwar, Shivaji University, Kolhapur"The book covers broadly all aspects of bioremediation, which is extremely important in maintaining the environmental quality."—Prof. T. Satyanarayana, University of Delhi South Campus, India
