Biological Degradation and Bioremediation of Toxic Chemicals
In this book, editor G Rasul Chaudhry presents a wide range of topics authored by researchers at the cutting edge of biodegradation and bioremediation. The book includes recent research describing how microorganisms clean soil and water, and how they remove toxic substances. It also presents information on how genetics and molecular biological methods are used to improve the ability of microorganisms to degrade a variety of substances.
Customer Review: A well writen book for the Biotechnologist
This is a fairly comprehensive book dealing with biodegradtion. As a microbiologist and molecular biologist I use it to balance the organic chemistry I am lacking in the field. I do wish it showed more mechanisms, but otherwise a fine reference book. Buy at Amazon or Comparison Shop at Best Buys Zone
Bioremediation and bioprevention - the use of micro-organisms to treat or avoid pollution - are increasingly recognized as treatments of choice in an impressive range of areas. These techniques are more and more employed in both traditional and novel applications to treat air, water, and soil to monitor and prevent pollution to manage life cycles and renew materials and to carry energy. At the OECD Workshop Tokyo '94, 130 international experts from 16 countries met to review the latest scientific and technical advances in the field. As the studies they presented make clear, these are safe and effective technologies. However, they are still at an early stage of development, and their efficacy, reliability, and predictability must and can be improved. Buy at Amazon or Comparison Shop at Best Buys Zone
