Description for Cyanobacteria for Bioremediation of Wastewaters
Hardback. Cyanobacteria for Bioremediation of Wastewaters Editor(s): Zinicovscaia, Inga; Cepoi, Liliana. Num Pages: 133 pages, 42 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSAF; PSB; TQSW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 374.
This book reflects the use of cyanobacteria for the bioremediation of wastewater through different mechanisms and pathways of transformation and transfer of hazardous substances from one medium to another. The application of microorganisms for bioremediation is determined by their ubiquity, small size, high rate of reproduction and large surface-to-volume cell ratio. Mechanisms of interaction of cyanobacteria with inorganic pollutants include biosorption, bioaccumulation with an opportunity to obtain metal nanoparticles both on the cell surface and inside the cells as well as chelation and inclusion of metals in the composition of certain organic structures. Data presented in the book provides specialists ... Read more
