Extracellular Enzymes in Environments: Responses to Collaborative Remediation of Contaminated Soil and Groundwater

Extracellular Enzymes in Environments: Responses to Collaborative Remediation of Contaminated Soil and Groundwater provides an overview of the functions, activities, and analysis methods of enzymes in soil and water environments. In addition, the response of enzymes to environmental changes (e.g., contamination, remediation, climate change, fertilization) is also summarized based on experimental results. Spatial and temporal distribution of enzyme activities is assessed using in-situ zymography. Furthermore, variation of enzyme activities in hotspots (i.e., rhizosphere, detritusphere) and controlling factors are also summarized. Provides detailed information on the in-situ zymography technique, which can visualize enzyme activities in soil and water environments Quantifies distribution of enzyme activities in response to nano-metal oxides contamination and use of enzymes to evaluate remediating effect of various carbon-based biomass materials on heavy metal contamination Covers the responses of enzymes to environmental changes (e.g., contamination, remediation, climate change, and fertilization) are summarized INDICE: 1. Enzymes and their functions in soil and groundwater2. Global climate change and enzyme activities3. Response of enzyme activities to manure applications4. Response of enzyme activities to metal/nanometal oxide5. Effect of biomass-based materials on enzyme activities in heavymetal-contaminated environment6. Enzyme activities in the rhizosphere of soil and groundwater
