Shree Nath Singh (Ed): Extraordinary microbial degradation capacities comments on microbial degradation of xenobiotics

摘要

The study of microbial degradation capacities is an exciting area of research. For several decades, scientists have gained information to understand the microbial degradation mechanisms. They have made important efforts to harness microbes to remove or mitigate the effects of pollutants released into the environment. The Microbial degradation of xenobiotics compiles the knowledge acquired on the microbial capacities to degrade selected compounds among the most used by humans activities including chlorinated compounds, dyes, explosives, and petroleum-derived compounds and polymers. The contributions from worldwide authors, experts in their respective field, are well written and informative providing extensive references on the current literature.
