Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of chemicals. They represent an
important concern due to their widespread distribution in the environment, their resistance to …

PAHs are aromatic hydrocarbons with two or more fused benzene rings with natural as well
as anthropogenic sources. They are widely distributed environmental contaminants that …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the products of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels,
are ubiquitous in nature. Some of these chemicals are of environmental concern because of …

Wastewater Microbiology focuses on microbial contaminants found in wastewater, methods
of detection for these contaminants, and methods of cleansing water of microbial …

Interest in the biodegradation mechanisms and environmental fate of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) is motivated by their ubiquitous distribution, their low bioavailability …

Over the past 30 years, research on the microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) has resulted in the isolation of numerous genera of bacteria, fungi and …

The ligninolytic enzymes of white-rot fungi have a broad substrate specificity and have been
implicated in the transformation and mineralization of organopollutants with structural …

Bioremediation of wastewater can be enhanced by the use of lignolytic enzymes such as
laccases. Laccases oxidize, polymerize or transform phenolic or anthropogenic compounds …

This book combines the results of current research with essential background material to
provide complete, in-depth coverage of every aspect of in situ and ex situ bioremediation, as …

Lignin is amorphous in nature, lacks stereoregularity, and is not susceptible to hydrolytic
attack. Despite its resistant nature, it is however degraded by various microorganisms …
