This 4-volume set focuses on the use of microbial bioremediation and
phytoremediation to clean up pollutants in soil, such as pesticides,
petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, and chlorinated solvents, which reduce
the soil's fertility and renders it unfit for plant growth. The volumes
cover the many diverse eco-friendly microbial bioremediation and
phytoremediation techniques for sustainable soil management.
Volume
4: Degradation of Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls addresses
pesticide degradation, PCBs degradation, and genetic interventions. It
begins by describing environmental pesticide degradation, mechanisms
and sustainability, microbes and microbial enzymes, plant microbe
interactions, organophosphorus degradations and endosulfan degradation.
It then goes on to discuss PCBs and degradation, cypermethrin,
degradation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and carvone and surfactants
for degradation of PCBs. The book also advocates for genetic systems
for degradation of PCBs and pesticides, with discussion of the
different advantages and disadvantages for each strategy and the
various techniques.
Other volumes in the 4-volume set:
• Volume 1: Fundamental Aspects and Contaminated Sites
• Volume 2: Microbial Approaches and Recent Trends
• Volume 3: Inventive Techniques, Research Methods, and Case Studies
Together,
these four volumes provide in-depth coverage of the mechanisms,
advantages, and disadvantages of the bioremediation and
phytoremediation technologies for safe and sustainable soil management.
