This book provides insights into the complex behaviour of microbial communities and identifies enzymes/metabolites and their degradation pathways via OMICS route. It describes the application of microbes/derivatives for bioremediation of toxic compounds. It highlights existing technologies and industrial practices, and real-life case studies.
