CHAPTER 7 – Applied Microbial Ecology: Bioremediation

摘要: Publisher Summary Environmental biotechnology refers to enhancements of natural biological systems, particularly the use microbes whose traits may or not have been genetically modified improve efficiency biodegradation specific environmental contaminants. Natural and organisms degrade pollutants into simpler, less toxic forms. Organisms at lower levels organization transform substances in direction mineralization—towards inorganic compounds. A pollutant its spheres influence must be considered space time, with attention scale complexity all their This chapter analyzes ways which principles are used address pollution a systematic way. In comparison medical industrial applications biotechnology, biotechnologies larger volumes chemicals human populations ecosystems, form some type waste unwanted material. The concepts view oxygen, bioremediation, biochemodynamics bioremediation also discussed.
