Abstract

Environmental biotechnology is a coordination of scientific and engineering acquaintance associated with the use of microorganisms and their degraded products after treatment in the prevention of environmental pollution through biotreatment of wastes and biomonitoring of environment and treatment processes. Environmental biotechnology is the multidisciplinary combination of sciences and engineering in order to employ the enormous biochemical efficacy of microorganisms and plants, for the restoration and perpetuation of the environment and for the sustainable utilization of resources. The most significant considerations for purpose of biotechnology in waste treatment are technically and economically sound for biodegradability or detoxification of substances during biotechnological treatment, huge amount of treated wastes, and capability of natural microorganisms to degrade substances. The unique role of environmental biotechnology in the future is intensified taking into account the possibilities to append with innovative solutions and guidelines in remediation of environments contaminated with pollutants, minimizing future waste release and creating pollution prevention alternatives.
