Environmental Biotechnology: A Biosystems Approach, Second Edition presents valuable information on how biotechnology has acted as a vital buffer among people, pollution, and the environment. It answers the most important questions on the topic, including how, and why, a knowledge and understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological principles of the environment must be achieved in order to develop biotechnology applications.
Using a systems biology approach, the book provides a context for researchers and practitioners in environmental science, also serving as a complement to guidebooks on the necessary specifications and criteria for a wide range of environmental designs and applications. Users will find crucial information on the topics scientific researchers must evaluate in order to develop further technologies.
- Provides a systems approach to biotechnologies which includes the physical, biological, and chemical processes in context
- Presents relevant case studies on cutting-edge technologies, such as nanobiotechnologies and green engineering
- Addresses both the applications and implications of biotechnologies by following the lifecycle of a variety of established and developing biotechnologies
- Includes crucial information on the topics scientific researchers must evaluate in order to develop further technologies
