Handbook of Metal-Microbe Interactions and Bioremediation

Metal pollutants are a major problem of the world today and the conventional practices of toxic metal removal are not satisfactory. Thus, the students and scientific communities should be aware of the fundamental advances of microbe-mediated metal removal practices. The book describes the current understanding as well as innovations in metal bioremediation strategies and their implications in contaminated environments.

Around the World, metal pollution is a major problem. Conventional practices of toxic metal removal can be ineffective and/or expensive, delaying and exacerbating the crisis. Those communities dealing with contamination must be aware of the fundamentals advances of microbe-mediated metal removal practices because these methods can be easily used and require less remedial intervention. This book describes innovations and efficient applications for metal bioremediation for environments polluted by metal contaminates.
