Microbial Metagenomics in Effluent Treatment Plant introduces a metagenomic approach characterizing microbial communities?in industrial wastewater treatment, providing an overall picture of metagenomics, its application, processes, and future prospects in the field of bioremediation. It also discusses culture-dependent methods, culture-independent methods, and?enzymatic methods?used to estimate bacterial diversity to monitor temporal and spatial changes in bacterial communities. In addition, a metagenomic approach id discussed to characterize the microbial communities in industrial wastewater treatment. Researchers, scientists, professors, and students in environmental engineering, applied microbiology, and water treatment will find this book helpful in understanding the importance and role of metagenomics in biogeochemical cycles, degradation, and detoxification of environmental pollutants.

• Presents text rich in information and knowledge of metagenomics
• Introduces novel and powerful insights into the already existing bioremediation process
• Serves as an easy-to-understand and centralized resource of information with practical application ideas
