Collection

Microbial resources for bioremediation and reclamation of degraded environments

Submission status
Closed
This collection invites submissions on the biotechnological approaches that exploit the metabolic diversity of microorganisms to degrade the contaminants, or to increase soil fertility could be of particular interest.The key areas of consideration for the collection will include: - Development of innovative approaches for the removal of contaminants - Characterization of microbial communities involved in the degradation of contaminants - Development of strategies for the reclamation of environments impacted by human activities - Characterization of novel microorganisms potentially suitable for the bioremediation and for the reclamation - Description of new microbial approaches for the reclamation of marginal lands Read further about the collection here
