Overview

Environmental biotechnology is the application of biological organisms and processes to protect and restore the environment and to manage waste and pollution. It uses microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, along with plants and their biochemical capabilities, to degrade contaminants, treat wastewater, clean polluted soil and water through bioremediation, and convert organic waste into useful products or energy. The field also addresses the reduction of harmful emissions, the monitoring of environmental quality through biological indicators, and the development of more sustainable industrial and agricultural practices. By harnessing natural metabolic processes, environmental biotechnology offers tools for breaking down hazardous substances, recovering resources, and mitigating the impacts of human activity on ecosystems. As a topic within Biotechnology and Biomedical Science, it connects microbiology, biochemistry, and engineering to practical environmental challenges. Related work within the journal's broader scope includes a review of biotechnology as a response to climate-change impacts and studies on the roles of microorganisms and bioinformatics in biotechnological applications. This page situates environmental biotechnology within the journal's coverage of applied biological science and gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to using biological systems for pollution control, waste treatment, and environmental sustainability.
