Microbial Diversity and Genetics of Biodegradation by Koki Horikoshi & Masao Fukuda

The results of an international project on microbial evolution. The book examines the biodegradation of artificial compounds, presenting an overview of knowledge and perspectives on microbial diversity, the genetics of biodegradation and the ecology and mechanisms of such degradation. In the past the number of artificial compounds in existence has increased exponentially, and many are extremely resistent to decomposition, causing environmental problems. Microorganisms have been discovered that can break down these compounds, and this book presents key results of an international research project on microbial evolution. Following an overview of basic knowledge and perspectives on microbial diversity and the genetics of biodegradation of aromatic compounds, the biochemistry of xenobiotic biodegradation is described in detail. Several chapters discuss microbial ecology and community structure while others consider evolutionary mechanisms and pathway diversity of 2,4-D and PCB degradation.
