| Summary: | To achieve a better understanding of the prevention and management of environmental pollution and the use of important resources for conversion into chemicals and energy, it is important for researchers to be fully aware of the wider aspects of the biodegradation of natural and synthetic materials. The book illustrates the vital role of micro-organisms in the utilisation of renewable resources and detoxification of pollutants. Traditionally separate areas of biodegradation are brought together to emphasise the overlapping mechanisms involved and the similarity of research methods. |
