The book Eco-Restoration of the Polluted Environment: A Biological Perspective explores recent advances in the field of biological strategies for the remediation of polluted environments including soil, water, and air. It covers bioremediation of heavy metals, radioactive waste, and waste gases, which are believed to be bottleneck problems for researchers working in the field of bioremediation. The book provides deep insight into biotechnological advances in the field of eco-restoration of the polluted environment with separate chapters on Genetic Engineering technology for enhancement of the bioremediation potential of bioresources, the role of biosurfactants, enzymes, and exo-polysaccharides for bioremediation of polluted environment along with basic aspects of eco-restoration by microorganisms. The book summarises the significant developments of many years of research work in bioremediation technology and discusses them critically by presenting selected examples. On that basis, future research directions in the area will also be considered.

Features:

· Delivers deeper insight into the modes of action of various bioremediation strategies.

· Provides deep insight into the status and progress of bioremediation technology for sustainable developmental practices.

· Elucidates a research overview of bioremediation strategies using engineered biological resources for remediation of contaminants. The book will also accelerate the application of suitable engineered microbes and plants for field applications.

· Provides an overview of interdisciplinary findings and insights on the impact of pollution on the ecosystem and human health, climate, and other global change with individual solutions to the pollution issue.

· Information is presented comprehensively for relevant stakeholders such as global leaders, agriculturists, investors, innovators, farmers, policymakers, extension workers, agro-industrialists, environmentalists, education, and health sectors, as well as students and researchers in the field.
