"Biodegradation: Engineering and Technology" ed. by Rolando Chamy and Francisca Rosenkranz

This book contains a collection of different research activities where several technologies have been applied to the optimization of biodegradation processes.

The book has three main sections:
A) Hydrocarbons biodegradation,
B) Biodegradation and anaerobic digestion,
C) Biodegradation and sustainability.
