Abstract

This chapter examines the significance of environmental biotechnology. It cites that according to the International Society for Environmental Biotechnology, environmental biotechnology is the development, use, and regulation of biological systems for the bioremediation of contaminated environments and environment friendly processes. The chapter then highlights the role microbes play in wastewater treatment and anaerobic digestion. Due to the rapidly urbanizing global population, the importance of biotechnology for minimizing the impact of human activity on the natural environment has grown increasingly important. The chapter also provides an overview of the process of bioleaching, bioscrubbing, and bioaugmentation in correlation with the role of microorganisms in each process.
