Sustainable Dimensions of Microbiological Remediation of Wastewater brings together recent advances in microbiology, biotechnology, and environmental engineering to demonstrate how microbial systems can be effectively harnessed to address the growing global challenge of wastewater pollution.

The volume begins by outlining the types, toxicity, and sources of wastewater, along with conventional treatment approaches and their limitations. It then introduces microbial remediation as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative, highlighting the ability of microorganisms to degrade, transform, and remove a wide range of pollutants from contaminated water systems. The book explores how microbial processes offer cost-effective and environmentally safe solutions compared to traditional physicochemical methods.

A major focus is placed on diverse microbial strategies, including indigenous microorganisms, biofilm-based technologies, genetically modified microorganisms, microalgae, and cyanobacteria. These chapters explain how microbial communities can be optimised for enhanced pollutant removal, bioenergy production, and carbon sequestration. Advanced technologies such as biosorption, membrane bioreactors, and constructed wetlands are also discussed, showcasing integrated systems that improve efficiency and scalability in wastewater treatment.

The book further examines the bioremediation of industrial effluents and heavy metal-contaminated wastewater, emphasising the role of microbial diversity in detoxification and environmental restoration. It also highlights recent technological innovations, current challenges, and future perspectives in microbial wastewater treatment, encouraging continued research and development in this rapidly evolving field.
