Expert international authors review the field of microbial bioremediation of non-metal pollutants from a biochemical and genetic viewpoint, providing a timely overview of current research. Such pollutants include chloroethenes, steroids, organophosphorus compounds, alkanes, PAHs and PCBs. Topics include: enzymatic biodegradation reactions; the impact of bioturbation on hydrocarbon dynamics in marine sediments; the structure, function and biodiversity of ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases involved in PAH biodegradation; strategies to engineer PCB-degrading bacteria; PCB-degrading plant-microbe systems strategies, etc.
