Synopsis
A comprehensive account of how microorganisms can play a significant role in degrading and detoxifying toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic compounds, such as nitrogenous xenobiotics, dimethyl nitrosamine, haloaromatics, coal-tar, rubbers, tannins, herbicides, pesticides, plastics, polyesters, dyes, and detergents. It deals with all aspects of microbial degradation, ranging from screening methods for the degradative microorganisms, processes of degradation, strain improvement for enhanced biodegradation, and elimination of undesirable compounds, to improving health and environmental strategies.
