Opis

This book enlighten the comprehensive methodology , basic to most up-to-date aspects covering Bioremediation and biodegradation of Petroleum products like diesel, kerosene and petrol by bacterial and fungal isolates in vitro and ex situ from Petroleum product contaminated soils and their effect on biochemical enzymatic variations. This book also is focusing on isolation, characterization , screening, optimization , mode of action and in vitro toxicological effects of different petroleum products on growth, biochemical constituents such as carbohydrates, proteins, phenols, amino acids, enzymatic variations like manganese peroxidase, laccase , dehydrogenase enzymes of fungal isolates like A. terreus, A. versicolor ,A. niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium janthinellum, P. decumbens and R. oryzae, but also provides information on ex situ remediation and degradation of petroleum products by selected and efficient strains of fungal and bacterial consortia and abatement of petroleum compounds ,bio-transformant such as aliphatic and aromatic petroleum hydrocarbons during degradation in vitro and ex situ experiments .
