The book emphasizes a wide spectrum of experimental and theoretical contributions from eminent researchers in the field. In 13 chapters, there is a focus on the microbial intrusions for remediating sites by accumulated pesticides, heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and other industrial effluents. Moreover, the potentiality and key mechanisms used by microorganisms for sustainable environmental management and their prospects are also considered in this new release.
The term syntrophy for nutritional interdependence is often used in microbiology to describe the symbiotic relationship between bacterial species. Understanding such interactions can be of considerable interest when we come to manipulate microbes to our own benefit, such as by disrupting pathogenic communities with antibiotics or by promoting efficiency in communities that produce energy or break down waste.
- Summarizes and reviews possible microbial applications for eco-industrial sustainability

- Focuses on microbial intrusions for remediating sites and other industrial effluents
Students, researchers from academia and industry, working in the field of applied microbiology, nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, and biotechnology; Those who have a keen interest in the biogenesis of nanoparticles, its mechanism, and sustainable application
