Heavy Metal Detoxification from the Environment: Uncovering Molecular Approaches

About this book

With industrialization continuing to raise heavy metal levels in soil, water, and food chains, Heavy Metal Detoxification from the Environment: Uncovering Molecular Approaches offers a comprehensive look at sustainable, eco-friendly strategies to mitigate heavy metal contamination. The book focuses on advanced molecular insights, highlighting the role of metagenomics, omics-based analyses, and next-generation sequencing while understanding how biological systems, ranging from microbes and plants to mycorrhizae and earthworms can effectively detoxify polluted environments. It bridges fundamental science with applied bioremediation, emphasizing innovative and sustainable approaches that align with modern environmental priorities. By integrating molecular biology, biotechnology, and environmental science, this volume offers researchers and practitioners a cutting-edge perspective on how genetic and functional characterization of detoxifying agents can transform heavy metal remediation into a greener, more effective practice. Key Features Examines molecular mechanisms underlying heavy metal detoxification Applies metagenomic and omics-based tools to analyze remediation pathways Employs eco-friendly bioremediation agents such as microbes, plants, and mycorrhizae Explores next-generation sequencing techniques for identifying key detoxification genes Bridges molecular biology with sustainable environmental management practices
