Dehalogenation : microbial processes and environmental applications
This work provides a perspective on how natural and synthetic organohalides are formed and degraded and how these processes are incorporated into a global halogen cycle. Chapters explore the ecology, biochemistry, and genetics of dehalogenating microorganisms and review the range of biologically mediated dehalogenation mechanisms. Many of the problematic organohalides, such as pesticides and chlorofluorocarbons, are covered in detail, and bioremediation technologies are discussed. The authors are affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at Rutgers University. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
