This book evaluates and assesses the toxicity, mode of action of xenobiotic compounds like 2,4-D ethyl ester (herbicide), pencycuron (fungicide), Anthracene (ANT) and Pyrene (PYR) (PAHs) on selected species of microorganism: Cyanobacteria—Nostoc muscorum Agardh, Anabaena—fertilissima Rao, and Synechocystis sp.; Bacteria—Bacillus benzoevorans and Pseudomonas indoxyladons with Synechocystis sp. and consortium separately and its biotransformation into nontoxic forms.

The book broadly deals with:
  • Mode of action of xenobiotics by measuring their toxicity, impact on growth, pigments, biochemical, enzymatic and morphological variations.
  • Further to understand their toxicity and molecular mechanism, functional group variations by FTIR, change in expression of protein profile by SDS PAGE and genomic DNA profiling by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and molecular characterization by 16S rDNA amplification in response to various doses.
  • Their biotransformants and reduction of applied xenobiotics compounds during bioremediation process by selected species of cyanobacteria, bacteria and consortium in vitro and ex situ (microcosm).
