2019环境生物技术专刊序言

环境生物技术,作为一门由现代生物技术与环境工程相结合的新兴交叉学科,已经在环境污染治理、环境监测中得到了广泛的应用,环境友好、高效地处理有机及无机污染,同时变废为宝生产高值化合物为从根本上解决环境问题提供了希望与支持。本专刊报道了环境生物技术在多环芳烃、抗生素、石油基塑料等环境污染物降解领域的基础与应用研究,介绍了吲哚、微生物铁载体等分子在生物修复中的应用,为全面认识环境污染现状、深入开展环境生物技术研究并制定综合治理策略等提供参考。

Preface for special issue on environmental biotechnology (2019)

Environmental biotechnology, as an emerging interdisciplinary subject combining modern biotechnology and environmental engineering, has been widely used in environmental pollution control and environmental monitoring. Efficient purification of environmental pollution and the production of useful substances have the potential to fundamentally solve environmental problems. In the present special issue, the principle and application of environmental biotechnology in the field of environmental pollutant degradation such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, antibiotics, and petroleum-based plastics has been summarized. Application of indole, microbial iron carrier and other molecules in bioremediation has been introduced. Hope to give a comprehensive view on basic environmental biotechnology, future research directions and comprehensive governance strategies.
