Increasing scientific specialisation and the rapid advances ...
The International Society of Environmental Biotechnology defines environmental biotechnology as "the development, use and regulation of biological systems for remediation of contaminated environments (land, air, water), and for environment-friendly processes (green manufacturing technologies and sustainable development)". It is the multidisciplinary integration of sciences and engineering in order to utilize the huge biochemical potential of ...
