Environmental Biotechnology, a book is written for the benefit of students of life sciences especially who aspire for becoming a biotechnologist having an exciting future. The book provides fundamental knowledge about the scopes in Environmental biotechnology dealing with the ecosystems, components of the environment, environmental pollution and their control measures. Application of biotechnological tools and methods as a solution for all the environmental problems and issues are discussed be it a microbe or a plant for remediating the contaminated ecosystem. The purpose of this book is to present a fair reflection of the practical biological approaches currently employed to address environmental problems, and to provide the reader with a working knowledge of the science.
