Algae and Fungi: Bioremediation of Refractory Pollutants in Contaminated Environments - Humaira Qadri

This book discusses algae and fungi as the tools for decontamination of polluted environments and how the remediation techniques aid in biorefining the pollution in environmentally sustainable ways. It covers their applications in containing and controlling pollution along with detailed diagrammatic representations including mechanisms of phyco- and myco-remediation. Recovery of pollutants including heavy metals, pesticides, organic chemicals, radionuclides, and persistent chemicals from polluted ecosystems and wastewater is also covered.

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental engineering, algae and fungi biotechnology, applied microbiology, and phycology.
