Genetically Engineered Organisms in Bioremediation provides comprehensive coverage of biotechnological applications of genetically engineered microorganisms for the bioremediation of polluted environments.

Chapters are contributed by international scientists with in-depth knowledge, expertise, vision and commitment in their scientific profession. They detail several genetically engineered microorganisms and their enzymes that could be applied to biologically break down persistent organic pollutants and recombinant DNA technologies which entail development of "suicidal-GEMs" for effective and safe remediation of heavily polluted sites.

FEATURES:

• Highlights genes that encode catabolic enzymes involved in the biodegradation of pollutants.

• Explores combining genetically engineered microorganisms with bioaugmentation, biostimulation
and bioattenuation strategies.

• Details the application of genetic engineering of bacteria for managing aromatic organic compounds under hypoxic conditions.

• Discusses tracking techniques and suppression strategies of genetically modified microorganisms.

Written for researchers, engineers and academics working in bioremediation, microbiology and biotechnology, this book is both timely and important.
