Metal Ions in Biological Systems - Volume 28: Degradation of Environmental Pollutants by Microorganisms and Their Metalloenzymes

Exploring the relationship between the chemistry of metals and life processes, this volume examines the degradation of environmental pollutants by micro-organisms. It covers the action of micro-organisms and metalloenzymes on lignin, tannins, hemicelluloses, cellulose and aromatic compounds, as well as on halogenated aromatics and aliphatics.
