Microbial biotechnology addresses the growing challenge of environmental pollution through environmentally sustainable approaches. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural practices lead to the release of contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, dyes, and plastics, which threaten ecosystems and human health. Traditional pollution control methods are often costly and generate secondary pollutants. In comparison, microbial biotechnology harnesses the metabolic capabilities of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, algae, and archaea to degrade, transform, or immobilize pollutants through natural biological processes. These microbial-based technologies, including bioremediation and bioaugmentation, offer cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable alternatives for environmental cleanup. Advances in molecular biology, genomics, synthetic biology, and metabolic engineering enhance the efficiency of microbial systems for pollution control. As global concerns over environmental sustainability rise, microbial biotechnology may further develop innovative solutions for restoring contaminated environments and supporting a cleaner and more sustainable future. Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable Pollution Control explores the use of microorganisms and their biological processes to prevent, degrade, transform, and remove environmental pollutants. It examines the mechanisms, applications, recent technological advancements, and challenges of microbial biotechnology in promoting environmental restoration and sustainable development. This book covers topics such as policymaking, biodegradation, and risk assessment, and is a useful resource for engineers, biologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
