About the Book: Emerging Trends in Bioremidiation Success
"Bioremediation is one of the most promising technological approaches to the
problem of hazardous waste. It is a technology for removing pollution from
environment, restoring contaminated site and preventing future pollution.
Bioremediation can be performed in situ or ex situ. Microorganisms directly
degrade contaminants rather than merely transferring them from one medium to
another, employ metabolic degradation pathways and can be used in situ to
minimize disturbance of the clean-up site. Hence, microorganisms can be
effective, economical and non-disruptive tools for eliminating hazardous
chemicals. Its advantage generally outweigh the disadvantage, therefore may be
used as management tool. The microbial potential
