The refinement of existing biodegradation and bioremediation techniques, and the development of new ones, is hugely important for all countries whatever their stage of development. Using case studies taken from locations as diverse as Mexico and Nigeria, this book outlines the current technologies available for the treatment of various products and contaminants, including crude oil, polymers, metals/alloys, anaerobic effluent, and organic compounds such as pesticides, PCBs and synthetic detergents/surfactants. An important subject covered by the book is the use of microbes in biodegradation techniques, including the development of genetically-engineered micro-organisms. Some specialist topics will also be discussed, including the effect of biodegradation on the mechanical integrity of metals and polymers used in medical implants; the biodegradation of nitrogen produced in aquaculture techniques; and the enzymes that play a key role in the degradation of xenobiotics. With its broad scope and use of world-wide case studies, we believe that this book will interest a large target audience, including researchers and students, development workers, and policy makers at government and local authority level.
