The natural biodiversity of these microenvironments is being disturbed by industrialization and the proliferation of urban centers, and synthetic contaminants found in these micro-places are causing stress and instability in the biochemical systems of microbes. The development of new metabolic pathways from intrinsic metabolic cycles facilitate microbial degradation of diverse resistant synthetic compounds present in soil. These are a vital, competent and cost-effective substitute to conventional treatments. Highly developed techniques for bioremediation of these synthetic compounds are increasing and these techniques facilitate the development of a safe environment using renewable biomaterial for removal of toxic heavy metals and xenobiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoil Microenvironment for Bioremediation and Polymer Production\u003c\/i\u003e consists of 21 chapters by subject matter experts and is divided into four parts: Soil Microenvironment and Biotransformation Mechanisms; Synergistic Effects between Substrates and Microbes; Polyhydroxyalakanoates: Resources, Demands and Sustainability; and Cellulose-Based Biomaterials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis timely and important book highlights\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapters on classical bioremediation approaches and advances in the use of nanoparticles for removal of radioactive waste\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the production of applied emerging biopolymers using diverse microorganisms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides the most innovative practices in the field of bioremediation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores new techniques that will help to improve biopolymer production from bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides novel concepts for the most affordable and economic societal benefits.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNazia Jamil\u003c\/b\u003e holds a PhD in genetics from the University of Karachi, Pakistan.
