Emerging Trends in Environmental Biotechnology

<p>The environment is an all-encompassing component of the ecosystem of Blue planet - the earth made up of the hydrosphere atmosphere and lithosphere. These three spheres have biotic and abiotic components which exhibit ecological homeostasis that provides the most appropriate survival chances for the members of biotic component and geochemical balance with abiotic components. This ecosystem is subjected to relatively harsh conditions mostly created by the disastrous activities due to natural calamities and intentional and/or accidental anthropogenic activities. Biotechnology has become a potential tool to dissipate such environmental impacts because of the advancement it has undergone recently. </p><p>Emerging Trends in Environmental Biotechnology is an outstanding collection of current research that integrates basic and advanced concepts of biotechnology such as genomics proteomics bioinformatics sequencing and imaging processes to improvise and protect the environment. This book is particularly attractive for scientists researchers students educators and professionals in environmental science agriculture veterinary and biotechnology science. The book will enable them to solve the problems about sustainable development with the help of current innovative biotechnologies such as recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering which have tremendous potential for impacting global food security environmental health human and animal health and overall livelihood of mankind.</p><p>Features</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Presents easy-to-read chapters</li> <p> </p> <li>Information is presented in a very accessible and logical format</li> <p> </p> <li>Identifies and explores biotechnological approaches for environmental protection</li> <p> </p> <li>Encompasses biodegradation of hazardous contaminants biotechnology in waste management nanotechnology and issues in environmental biotechnology research</li> </ul>
