Biological degradation and bioremediation

About The Book

Microbes biodegrade organic materials. Bioremediation is an engineering technology that helps bacteria biodegrade organic materials. Adding oxygen to the subsoil helps aerobic bacteria clean up oil in the soil. A substance's potential toxicity (harmful effect) only manifests when it contacts a vulnerable live biological system. In appropriate amounts, "harmless" chemicals can be harmful to biological systems. Toxic potency is the link between chemical dosage and biological reaction. Industrial waste toxicity is typically inadequately handled, damaging earth and water. Bioremediation is the most essential part of environmental biotechnology. Bioremediation can be done in situ or ex situ. The book provides theoretical and practical frameworks, actual research findings, and case studies. It's written for students, academicians, and industry professionals who want to understand the strategic role of biodegradation and bioremediation at different levels of biodegradation and bioremediation research and knowledge, such as heavy metal pollution, toxicity, remediation methods, and strategies to manage industrial waste, which is a global concern.
