This book consists of diverse mix of interesting chapters that focusses on use of active as well as passive biomass for the development of bioremediation technologies for the management of industrial effluents and contaminated land. This book should prove to be useful to the graduate and postgraduate students, research scholars, professors, scientists and bioremediation professionals in the diverse areas of life sciences like biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and soil and environmental sciences and management.

The book will provide the required valuable resource and stimulus to the researchers worldwide.
Topics in the book include: bioremediation of chlorobenzoic acids, resource recovery from industrial waste by passive bioremediation approach, bioremediation of olive mill wastewater, nutrients and organic matter removal by constructed wetlands, bioremediation of oil polluted site, hexavalent chromium removal by natural biomass, bioremediation of radiotoxic elements, rhizoremediation, biodegradation of profenofos, removal of acrylamide by microorganisms, bioremediation of thiocyanate, purification and characterization of a thermostable enzymes, persistent organics, scientific swift in bioremediation, in situ bioaugmentation process, and biosorbents for heavy metal removal from wastes.
