Microbial Metabolic Pathways | Environmental Biotechnology

Microbial Metabolic Pathways! Biological degradation of recent biomass and organic chemicals during solid waste or wastewater treatment proceeds either aerobic (respiration), anaerobic (methanogenesis) and sometime anoxic (denitrification). In aerobic process, organic compounds like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, or lipids are digested using aerobic bioreactors like activated sludge system, that leads to the formation of carbon dioxide, water, and a significant amount [...]

Phytoremediation of Plants (With Diagram)

After reading this article you will learn about the phytoremediation of plants. Phytoremediation is an emerging technology which involves the use of different types of plants to degrade extract, contain, or immobilize contaminants from the soil and water. In recent years, phytoremediation has been used at a number of sites in the United States and other countries including India. Phytoremediation [...]
