Microbial Biodegradation and Bioremediation: Techniques and Case Studies for Environmental Pollution, Second Edition describes the successful application of microbes and their derivatives for bioremediation of potentially toxic and relatively novel compounds in the environment. Our natural biodiversity and environment is in danger due to the release of continuously emerging potential pollutants by anthropogenic activities. Though many attempts have been made to eradicate and remediate these noxious elements, thousands of xenobiotics of relatively new entities emerge every day, thus worsening the situation. Primitive microorganisms are highly adaptable to toxic environments, and can reduce the load of toxic elements by their successful transformation and remediation.

This completely updated new edition presents many new technologies and techniques and includes theoretical context and case studies in every chapter. Microbial Biodegradation and Bioremediation: Techniques and Case Studies for Environmental Pollution, Second Edition serves as a single-source reference and encompasses all categories of pollutants and their applications in a convenient, comprehensive format for researchers in environmental science and engineering, pollution, environmental microbiology, and biotechnology.

Surajit Das, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Life Science at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India. He received his PhD in Marine Biology with specialization in marine microbiology from Annamalai University, India, and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Tasmania, Australia, as an Endeavour Research Fellow. His research focuses on environmental biotechnology, marine microbiology, microbial biofilms, bioremediation, wastewater treatment, biodiversity, and microbial ecology, with particular emphasis on the diversity, ecology, and functional applications of marine microorganisms. He leads externally funded research projects on microbial biofilms, environmental remediation, and sustainable biotechnology, and has supervised numerous doctoral researchers. He also serves on national and international scientific committees and editorial boards, including roles as Academic Editor of PLOS One and Associate Editor of BMC Microbiology.
