Description

Bioprospecting Native Microbiomes for Boosting Phytoremediation provides an inclusive overview of the use of metal-resistant native microbiomes for boosting the phytoremediation of polluted land for ecological and environmental restoration. The book offers a basic understanding of the principles and mechanisms of microbe-induced phytoremediation, microbiome resilience, adaptation to polluted lands, and metal-resistant native microbe-assisted phytotechnologies. It covers current trends, tools, and policies for the microbe-augmented remediation of an array of metals and metalloids. Other sections discuss key topics such as plant-metal-microbe interaction in polluted ecosystems, microbe-mediated phytoremediation for upgraded ecosystem services, and success stories on microbial-assisted phytoremediation.

Key features

  • Provides novel information on the bioprospecting of metal-resistant native microbiomes for phytoremediation
  • Offers foundational understanding of microbe-assisted phytoremediation of metals/metalloids, covering current trends, tools, and policies to improve resilience and adaptability
