Bacterial Bioflocculant for Multifunctional Features highlights research findings on the production and characterization of self-assembling bioflocculant from bacterial consortium (encompassing Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis and Proteus mirabilis). The book describes the various high-throughput techniques for characterization of wastewater at microbiological and molecular level. Sections cover pharmaceutical compounds, macromolecular compounds and other contaminants, the biotoxicity exhibited cellular and nuclear abnormalities in the zebra fish, and high-throughput techniques used for evaluating the flocculating efficiency of the bacterial bioflocculant to remove the contaminants in different other applications.
Bacterial Bioflocculant for Multifunctional Features will help users undertake further advanced research in bacterial bioflocculant for bioremediation technology and environmental prospectives. In addition, it will also inspire readers to understand bioflocculation and its functions.
Offers alternative, less expensive biotechnologies where wastewater can be reused
Focuses on the multipotent bacterial bioflocculant which plays a decisive role in bioremediation
Discusses techniques for microbially decontaminating polluted wastewater to increase re-usability
Academic faculties, researchers, students and scientists in the field of biotechnology, microbiology, biological science, environmental science, industrial engineering and technology, molecular biology, marine science and technology, and those involved with wastewater management
