Interest in the microbial biodegradation of pollutants has intensified in recent years as mankind endeavors to find sustainable ways to cleanup contaminated environments. Uta Breuer (Leipzig) has written a review (Eng. Life Sci. 2008: 8, 81-82) of a recent book on this topic:

"This book is very clearly written with an abundance of information on Microbial Biodegradation from the point of view of a microbial molecular biologist. Therefore this book is strongly recommended for scientists working in the field of microbial degradation and bioremediation and certainly of general interest for environmental microbiologists. It should be made available in all libraries at universities, research institutes and industry, and is further strongly recommended to all those who are interested in life sciences."
