Books in the Biotechnology Research series

This book is the outcome of a unique gathering of thirty top specialists in the world to discuss and debate the benefits and risks associated with biological control.

Bacterial microcolonies have manifold scientific importance. Experts from different fields provide analysis of the chemical, ecological and physical processes involved, followed by discussions of industrial, medical and other implications of biofilms associated with inert and living surfaces.

Bioremediation provides a technology based on the use of microorganisms to remove pollutants from soil and water. This book presents the most recent practical and theoretical information on the use of this technique for the removal of many of the world's most serious and common environmental contaminants.

A team of leading researchers provide in-depth reviews at the cutting edge of technology for laboratory techniques for the transformation of important soil microorganisms and recalcitrant plants of economic value. The book will serve as a general guide and reference tool for those working on transformation in microbiology and plant science.

This 1998 volume provides a range of examples of how biotechnology can offer sensitive and ecologically relevant new ways of monitoring the presence of biohazards in our environment and, once detected, how these biohazards can be removed in an ecologically safe way through bioremediation.
