Strategies for Bioremediation of Organic and Inorganic Pollutants

This book provides useful information on technologies based upon the use of biological agents for environmental clean-up, including bacteria, yeast, fungi, algae, and plants. The combination of strategies helps in efficient removal of pollutants generated from anthropogenic activities with minimal environmental impact.
