Opis

This volume describes degradation of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in the environment. It delves into microbes and microbial enzymes, plant microbe interactions, organophosphorus degradation, endosulfan degradation. It discusses PCBs, cypermethrin, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and more.
