Microbes and Microbial Biotechnology for Green Remediation is a comprehensive resource that delves into sustainable microbial treatment technologies. The research presented within highlights the crucial role of diverse microbial species in remediation processes, the mechanisms by which they operate, and potential avenues for enhancing bioremediation technology. The introduction of contaminants into the environment, driven by rapid urbanization and human activities, disrupts the delicate balance of physicochemical systems, including living organisms. Consequently, there is an urgent global need to reduce these pollutants and xenobiotics, as they can have detrimental effects on life. Over time, advancements in microbiology and biotechnology have expedited microbial remediation efforts, leading to the development of eco-friendly and biodegradable products for the effective dissemination of these xenobiotic compounds. The breakthroughs in microbiology and biotechnology have given rise to the field of microbial biotechnology as a distinct area of research, contributing significantly to the growth of various sectors such as agriculture, environment, biopharmaceutics, and fermented foods. Microbes emerge as a vital, efficient, green, and cost-effective alternative to conventional treatment technologies. The proposed book offers cost-effective and sustainable solutions. Serving as a valuable reference for graduate and postgraduate students in environmental biotechnology and microbiology, as well as researchers and scientists engaged in microbiology, environmental biotechnology, and allied research, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the field.
