Human actions across the past few centuries have led to a depletion of the world's natural energy sources, as well as large scale environmental degradation. In the context of these current global issues, this book covers the latest research on the application and use of microbes in topical areas such as bioremediation and biofuels. With chapters covering environmental clean-up, microbial fuel cells and biohydrogen, it provides a comprehensive discussion of the latest developments in the field of microbe utilization.
"Topics covered in this book include: Bioremediation techniques for detoxification of hazardous pollutants in industrial waters and sludges, Feasibility study of bioremediation potential of activated sludge towards PCP: integrated approach, Adaptive response of trivial activated sludge towards toxic effects of ONP, PCP and combination ONP/PCP, Anaerobic sequencing batch reactor as initiating stage in complete pentachlorophenol biodegradation, Bioindicative potential of micro- and metafauna in the activated sludge towards ONP, Combined effect of environmental parameters and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on microbial activity in petroleum contaminated sediments."
This volume focuses on biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds in soil and aqueous environments. Articles discuss the bioremediation of media contaminated with PAHs, PCBs, PCP, pesticides, explosives, bis(2)-ethyl-hexyl-phthalate, pharmaceutical residues, and alkylpyridines. Also covered is the variation of nutrient supplies for optimizing hydrocarbon biodegradation.
