Bioremediation

by J.J. Valdes (Editor)

Overview

In the field of biosensors the previous focus has been almost entirely on medical diagnostics. Here it is discussed in relation to bioremediation. The application of new biosensing techniques to environmental monitoring promises to be a more economical approach to monitoring both soil consortia and levels of pollutants. Significantly, functional biosensors can determine such parameters as'How clean is clean?'
This new edition is targeted specifically at graduate students and environmental professionals.
