by A.M Chakrabarty. 
 - First edition. 
 - 1 online resource (253 pages) 
<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references and index. 
<br/><br/> 1. Microbial metabolism and enzymology of selected pesticides  2. Microbial degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls  3. Chemical transformations of aromatic hydrocarbons that support the growth of microorganisms  4. Genetic and biochemical basis for microbial transformations and detoxification of mercury and mercurial compounds  5. Recurring themes and repeated sequences in metabolic evolution 6. Genetic mechanisms in the dissimilation of chlorinated compounds. 
<br/><br/> The basic objective of the book is to define and review the recent advances in our understand on the biological mechanisms in the biodegradation and detoxification of various environmental pollutants. The book encompasses recent studies on the mode of detoxication of such mercurial compounds by various microorganisms.
