Globally, metal pollution is increasing ceaselessly owing to intensification in industrialization and anthropogenic activities. Moreover, the continuous amplification in metal concentrations in soil ecosystem beyond the threshold limit leads to serious ecological and health problems. To overcome their hazardous effects, many novel approaches to clean up the environment are already in practice. Bioremediation technologies are considered as relatively economical and safe approaches. This book covers all major bioremediation technologies in depth. Additionally, the practical...

Tannery industries are one of the most polluting industries mainly causing chromium pollution in environment. The increase in industrial activities has intensified the environmental pollution problems and the deterioration of several ecosystems with the accumulation of many pollutants, such as toxic metals. Biosorption, which utilizes various natural materials of biological origin, including bacteria, fungi, yeast, algae, etc. When improperly handled and disposed of, these industrial wastes and effluents also contaminate the soil with their genotoxic compounds. Soil microflora may also...

This volume details the exploration, collection, characterization, evaluation and conservation of microbes for sustainable utilization in the development of the global as well as national economies, e.g. in agriculture, ecosystems, environments, industry and medicine.Many research institutes and universities all over the world carry out microbiological and biotechnological research, which generates substantial genomic resources such as cDNA libraries, gene constructs, promoter regions, transgenes and more valuable assets for gene discovery and transgenic product development. This work...

This book discusses the natural and anthropogenic determinants of the environment and their impact on human health. It throws light on the perspectives of climate change with case studies from Australia, India, Italy, and Latin America. Themes covered are ecology of antibiotic resistant microorganisms, pesticide and heavy metal (arsenic) problems in natural environment; molecular advances in understanding of microbial interactions; ecological studies of human/animal health and diseases; food security, technological developments and more. The various chapters incorporate both...

The aim of the food processing is to ensure microbiological and chemical safety of foods, adequate nutrient content and bioavailability and acceptability to the consumer with regard to sensory properties and ease of preparation. Processing may have either beneficial or harmful effects on these properties, so each of these factors must be taken into account in the design and preparation of foods. This book offers a unique dealing with the subject and provides not only an update of state-of-the art techniques in many critical areas of food processing and quality assessment, but also the...

The environment of our planet is degrading at an alarming rate because of non-sustainable urbanization, industrialization and agriculture. Unsustainable trends in relation to climate change and energy use, threats to public health, poverty and social exclusion, demographic pressure and ageing, management of natural resources, biodiversity loss, land use and transport still persist and new challenges are arising. Since these negative trends bring about a sense of urgency, short term action is required, whilst maintaining a longer term perspective. The main challenge is to gradually change...
