About the Book

Designed for use as a textbook in courses in biodegradation, this important new volume details both the fundamental concepts of the microbial transformation of organic compounds as well as its application for biotechnology and biodegradation. It offers comprehensive coverage of microbial catabolism from the group that developed the Biocatalysis/Biodegradation database on the Web and discusses the logic of catabolism use in predicting biodegradation.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive coverage of microbial catabolism
  • Uses genomics to anticipate future developments in microbial biocatalysis and biodegradation
  • Develops the metabolic logic of catabolism and its use in predicting biodegradation
  • Discusses the evolution of microbial biodegradative enzymes
