Soil Bioremediation

This book is presented on bioremediation of soil including different aspects for sustainable development of agriculture, environment etc. Significant attention is being paid to plants and microbes because of their metabolomics, molecular mechanisms, biochemical pathways, bioengineering, and cost-effective nature in an eco-friendly green approach. It presents a detailed account on phytoremediation, microbial remediation; application of different plants and microorganisms for bioremediation in agricultural soil; nanoparticles, metabolites produced by plants and microbes for bioremediation of soil; multidisciplinary approaches of bioremediation to alleviate major soil contamination issues, molecular mechanisms, biochemical approach of bioremediation of soil; plants and microbial engineering for bioremediation; recent advances and challenges; future prospects of bioremediation of contaminated soil, utilizing biodiversity for sustainable development of the soil ecosystem.

Includes the global status of advances, challenges, and roadmap of bioengineering used for bioremediation of soil Introduces the plants and microbe-induced enhanced bioremediation to protect the soil quality for better livelihood Provides detailed understanding of the sustainable technologies to protect contaminated soil through bioremediation
