The first encyclopedic examination of the application of fungi in bioremediation, this book gives an overview of the science today and covers all aspects of this multidisciplinary field. It provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals and progresses to practical applications. It features step-by-step guidance for a myriad of effective techniques to identify, select, and apply fungi towards the remediation of contaminated sites.
"Useful for students, newcomers to the field, and teachers."
(Mycological Research, July 2009)
"If you want to know about the latest in mycoengineering
technologies, or what your mycoreactor should look like, this is
the reference you've been looking for. Those interested in the
theoretical underpinnings of mycoremediation, fungal metabolism or
modeling approaches to fungal physiology will also learn much from
this monumental work." (Inoculum, May 2008)
"The book is unique in its form, since it is the first
encyclopedic examination of this topic ... .This book is
recommended for scientists, engineers, regulatory experts and
students working in the field of bioremediation and should be
present in all libraries of universities and offices involved in
waste management." (International Biodeterioration and
Biodegradation, January 2008)
"A well written, extremely well referenced, comprehensive
treatment of a formerly ... undeveloped topic." (Journal of
Hazardous Materials, June 1, 2007)
"For the first time, readers have a single, cohesive
presentation of the current state of the science that will serve as
a springboard for future research and new innovations." (Journal
of the American Water Resources Association, April 2007)
