Metagenomics to Bioremediation

Metagenomics to Bioremediation: Applications, Cutting Edge Tools, and Future Outlook provides detailed insight into metagenomics approaches to bioremediation in a comprehensive manner, which enables the analysis of microbial behavior at a community level under different environmental stresses during degradation and detoxification of environmental pollutants. This title summarizes each and all aspects of metagenomics applications to bioremediation. It helps readers overcome the lack of updated information on advancement in microbial ecology dealing with pollution abatement. In 32 chapters Metagenomics to Bioremediation: Applications, Cutting Edge Tools, and Future Outlook gives insight not only in the fundamentals of metagenomics and bioremediation, but also in recent trends and future expectations and will appeal to readers from diverse backgrounds in biology, chemistry, and life sciences that are working or planning to work on microbial technology for wastewater treatment and environmental clean-up for a sustainable environment. Reviews recently developed metagenomics approaches/strategies/ technologies to solve five major trends in the environmental clean-up, including nutrient removal and resource recovery, organometallic compounds detoxification, energy-saving and production, sustainability, and community involvement Compiles authoritative information about recent advances in microbial biotechnological approaches includes the latest description of the relationship between microbes and the environment focussing on their impact on ecosystem services Describes the knowledge gaps and future directions in the field of bioremediation of environmental contaminants Describes underlying microbial mechanisms with metabolic pathway for degradation and detoxification of emerging organic and inorganic contaminants discharged in environment Covers the genome editing CRISPR-Cas9 system that has been less explored in microorganisms for remediation
