This edited volume brings together a diverse group of environmental science, sustainability and health researchers to address the challenges posed by global mass poisoning caused by lithium and nickel contamination of soil and plants. The book sheds light on this global environmental issue and proposes solutions to contamination through multi-disciplinary approaches and case studies from different parts of the world.This book is a valuable resource to students, academicians, researchers, and environmental professionals who are doing field work on lithium and nickel contamination throughout the world.
Plants possess a range of potential cellular mechanisms that may be involved in the detoxification of heavy metals and thus tolerance to metal stress. Metal toxicity causes multiple direct and indirect effects in plants that concern practically all physiological functions. The main purpose of this book is to present comprehensive and concise information on recent advances in the field of metal transport and how genetic diversity affects heavy metal transport in plants. Other key futures of the book are related to metal toxicity and detoxification mechanisms, biochemical tools for HM remediation processes, molecular mechanisms for HM detoxification, how metallomics and metalloproteomics are affected by heavy metal stress in plants, and the role of ROS metabolism in the alleviation of heavy metals. Some chapters also focus on recent developments in the field of phytoremediation. Overall the book presents in-depth information and the most essential advances in the field of heavy metal toxicity in plants in recent years.
Genetically Engineered Organisms in Bioremediation provides comprehensive coverage of biotechnological applications of genetically engineered microorganisms for the bioremediation of polluted environments. Chapters are contributed by international scientists with in-depth knowledge, expertise, vision and commitment in their scientific profession. They detail several genetically engineered microorganisms and their enzymes that could be applied to biologically break down persistent organic pollutants and recombinant DNA technologies which entail development of "suicidal-GEMs" for effective and safe remediation of heavily polluted sites. FEATURES: • Highlights genes that encode catabolic enzy...
