Despite the presence of cold-resistance mechanism in bacteria, many pollution problems have been reported to occur in the rivers, lakes, ground waters, and process effluents of the industrialized world especially in the cold season. The production of exo-biopolymer by psychrotrophic bacteria and their probable role in the environment, especially in terms of heavy metal adsorption is observed. This book contains data of extensive experimental work on cold induced biopolymer production and sorption using FE-SEM, RPHPLC, HPAEC-PAD, DSC and WXRD. Adsorption isotherms and kinetic modeling were...
