Hydrocarbon and Lipid Microbiology Protocols Pollution Mitigation and Waste Treatment Applications
This Volume presents applications of hydrocarbon microbiology in the context of environmental pollutant degradation, covering pollutants such as petroleum and related wastes (i.e. oil sludge), biofuels, lipid-rich wastes, chlorinated solvents and BTEX, in several environments (marine, soil, groundwa...
