<p>This book examines bioremediation technologies as a tool for environmental protection and management. It provides global perspectives on recent advances in the bioremediation of various environmental pollutants. Topics covered include comparative analysis of bio-gas electrification from anaerobic digesters, mathematical modeling in bioremediation, the evaluation of next-generation sequencing technologies for environmental monitoring in wastewater abatement; and the impact of diverse wastewater remediation techniques such as the use of nanofibers, microbes and genetically modified organisms; bioelectrochemical treatment; phytoremediation; and biosorption strategies. The book is targeted at scientists and researchers working in the field of bioremediation.</p><p></p>
Introduction to Environmental Protection and Management.- Mathematical Modeling in bioremediation.- Evaluation of Next-Generation sequencing technologies for environmental monitoring in waste water abatement.- Genetically modified organisms and its impact on the enhancement bioremediation.- Integration of lignin removal from black liquor and biotransformation process.- Role of Nanofibers in bioremediation.- Bioremediation of industrial wastewater using bioelectrochemical treatment.- Biosorption strategies in the remediation of toxic pollutants from contaminated water bodies.- Bioremediation of Heavy Metals.- Pesticides Bioremediation.- Application of microbes in remediation of hazardous wastes: A review.- Phytoremediation techniques for the removal of dye in waste water.- Phenol degradation from industrial wastewater by engineered microbes.- Insect gut bacteria and their potential application in degradation of lignocellulosic biomass: a review.- Bioremediation of volatile organic compounds in biofilters.- Bioremediation of industrial and municipal waste water using microalgae.- Phytoremediation of Textile Dye Effluents.- Role of biosurfactants in enhancing the microbial degradation of pyrene.- Bioremediation of nitrate contaminated wastewater and soil.<p></p><p></p>
