Preface
This book is useful for the petrochemical industry (enhanced oil recovery from sludge), the pharmaceutical industry (developed technology for controlling multidrug‐resistant pathogens), and the agro‐industry (using byproducts), as well as environmental scientists and engineers (developing sustainable remediation technologies). As bioremediation is becoming green and a sustainable approach to environmental pollution control, the articles in this book will be relevant for future research that could benefit our stakeholders. The chapters in this reference book may be a unique collection that has been covered by most of the recent studies and provides systematic material produced by contemporary experts in the field. Focusing on research and development over the last 10 years, the study highlights relevant developments in the field. We hope that this book will support researchers by adding a new dimension to environmental studies and the remediation of emerging pollutants. A further benefit would be the understanding of the processes involved from the production to the sustainable use of biosurfactants in the environment and biomedicine.
This book explains how various methods can be used to recognize
