商品描述
Xenobiotic compounds including pesticides, nitrophenols, pyridine, polycyclic aromatic compounds and polychlorinated biphenyls are widely spread in environment due to anthropogenic activities. Most of them are highly toxic to living beings due to their mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. Therefore, the removal of these compounds from environment is an essential step for environmental sustainability. Microbial remediation has emerged as an effective technology for degradation of these xenobiotic compounds as microorganisms have unique ability to utilize these compounds as their sole source of carbon and energy. The primary goal of this book is to provide detailed information of microbial degradation of many xenobiotic compounds in various microorganisms.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
外來化合物,包括農藥、硝基酚、吡啶、多環芳香化合物和多氯聯苯,由於人類活動而廣泛存在於環境中。由於其致突變和致癌特性,大多數這些化合物對生物體具有高度毒性。因此,從環境中去除這些化合物是實現環境可持續性的必要步驟。微生物修復已成為降解這些外來化合物的有效技術,因為微生物具有將這些化合物作為其唯一碳源和能源的獨特能力。本書的主要目標是提供有關多種微生物對許多外來化合物進行降解的詳細資訊。
