The book 'Effluent Remediation with Fungi and Plants' authored by S.A.M. Kamalasankari, is a comprehensive guide on the use of fungi and plants for the remediation of effluents contaminated with heavy metals. The book discusses the principles and techniques of bioremediation, mycoremediation, and phytoremediation of tannery effluent,which is highly polluted with heavy metals and poses a threat to the environment and public health.The book covers various aspects of remediation, including the identification and selection of suitable fungi and plants, the growth conditions required for their optimal functioning, the mechanisms by which they remove pollutants from the effluent, and the factors affecting their performance. The author also discusses the use of various bioremediation techniques, such as bioaccumulation, biosorption, and biotransformation, in the context of effluent remediation. The book is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals working in the field of environmental science, biotechnology, and waste management. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the potential of fungi and plants for the remediation of effluent, and offers practical guidance for the design and implementation of effective effluent remediation strategies using these natural agents.
