Summary

This book covers novel and indigenous microbes and microbial products. Biofilms, exopolysaccharides, bio-surfactant, enzymes, metabolites, microbial synthesized nanoparticles, and latest genetic and other metabolic engineering approaches based on microbial technology which are utilized in the remediation and management of hazardous contamination from the environment and surroundings are covered.

The book details many methods used including degradation and remediation of hazardous pollutants, genetically engineered of microorganisms for removal of toxic organic compounds, metabolic engineering as alternative strategies for microbial bioremediation, microbial immobilization and use of microbial surfactants, microorganisms as the indicator for pollutants, biochemical approaches in microbial biodegradation to name a few.
