Environmental Biotechnology: Basic Concepts and Applications, 2/e
Biotechnology impinges on everyone's lives. It is one of the major technologies of the twenty-first century with wide-ranging, multidisciplinary activities ranging from small entities of life to the application, and production of goods. Environmental biotechnology is a huge and fast growing field with increasing relevance for a sustainable development through protection of environment to production of biomaterials. It continues to revolutionize the understanding of basic life sustaining processes in the environment, identification and exploitation of the molecules, and its use to provide clean technologies and to deal with environmental problems. This book provides an overview of basic processes of the environment, perturbations in the environment due to natural and human activities and use of biotechnological principles for remediation for sustainable development of the environment.
Industrial Biotechnology
The last five decades have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in the amount of xenobiotic compounds in the environment by industrial activities, some of them being highly toxic, recalcitrant with high bio-accumulating and bio-magnification properties. Whilst biotechnology is the development of products or processes using plants, animals or micro-organisms, ''Environmental Biotechnology'' is the multidisciplinary integration of sciences and engineering to utilise the huge biochemical potential of microorganisms and plants for the sustenance of resources. Recent advances in biotechnology have driven forward the harnessing of micro-organisms and plants to help and protect our fragile environment an...
Combined Application of Physico-Chemical & Microbiological Processes for Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant
In recent decades, scientific insight into the chemistry of water has increased enormously, leading to the development of advanced wastewater and water purification technologies. However, the quality of freshwater resources has continually deteriorated worldwide, both in industrialized and developing countries. Although traditional wastewater technologies focus on the removal of suspended solids, nutrients and bacteria, hundreds of organic pollutants occur in wastewater and urban surface waters. These new pollutants are synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals that are not often monitored in the environment but have the potential to enter the environment and cause known or suspected advers...
Biological Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery
Biological treatment of wastewater is a low-cost solution for remediation of wastewater. This book focuses on the bioremediation of wastewater, its management, monitoring, role of biofilms on wastewater treatment and energy recovery. It emphasizes on organic, inorganic and micropollutants entering into the environment after conventional wastewater treatment facilities of industrial, agricultural and domestic wastewaters. The occurrence of persistent pollutants poses deleterious effects on human and environmental health. Simple solution for recovery of energy as well as water during biological treatment of wastewater is a viable option. This book provides necessary knowledge and experimental studies on emerging bioremediation processes for reducing water, air and soil pollution.
Toxicity and Bioremediation of Selected Xenobiotic Compounds
This book evaluates and assesses the toxicity, mode of action of xenobiotic compounds like 2,4-D ethyl ester (herbicide), pencycuron (fungicide), Anthracene (ANT) and Pyrene (PYR) (PAHs) on selected species of microorganism: Cyanobacteria—Nostoc muscorum Agardh, Anabaena—fertilissima Rao, and Synechocystis sp.; Bacteria—Bacillus benzoevorans and Pseudomonas indoxyladons with Synechocystis sp. and consortium separately and its biotransformation into nontoxic forms. The book broadly deals with: Mode of action of xenobiotics by measuring their toxicity, impact on growth, pigments, biochemical, enzymatic and morphological variations; Further to understand their toxicity and molecular mechanism, functional group variations by FTIR, change in expression of protein profile by SDS PAGE and genomic DNA profiling by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and molecular characterization by 16S rDNA amplification in response to various doses; and Their biotransformants and reduction of applied xenobiotics compounds during bioremediation process by selected species of cyanobacteria, bacteria and consortium in vitro and ex situ (microcosm).
Genomics Approach to Bioremediation
Genomics Approach to Bioremediation Provides insights into the various aspects of microbial genomics and biotechnology for environmental cleanup In recent years, the application of genomics to biodegradation and bioremediation research has led to a better understanding of the metabolic capabilities of microorganisms, their interactions with hazardous and toxic chemical compounds, and their adaptability to changing environmental conditions. Genomics Approach to Bioremediation: Principles, Tools, and Emerging Technologies provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on cutting-edge technologies and approaches in bioremediation and biodegradation of environmental pollutants.

Plant Abiotic Stresses Physiological Mechanisms Tools and Regulation
Plant Physiologists have to certainly sort out the insufluciency of consequential researches, genuinely required for getting higher productivity, opulence and sustainability of agriculture through outstandingly promising technologies to help improvement in metabolic boundaries necessitates mainly for abiotic stress factors. The aspiration is to make stronger the vital outcome of conscientious research coupled principally with thorough perceptions of underlying mechanisms of plant tolerance under changing environments. Nevertheless, appropriate strategies by relevant ideas of paramount importance could ensure food production under extremes of stressful conditions geographically varying from o...
