Bioremediation is a technology that utilizes the metabolic potential of microorganisms to clean up contaminated environments. In this volume, international scientists present the results of recent research in marine bioremediation. A sampling of topics includes the bioremediation of petroleum spills, the control of heavy metal contamination, and the use of molecular technologies for monitoring bacteria. The editors teach ecology and evolutionary biology at Tulane University. Distributed in the U.S. by Enfield. Annotation 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
