Foreword
This edition containing 14 scientific articles contributed by many researchers present a multifarious discussion on the emerging problem of soil and water pollution and their remediation utilizing biotechnology. The articles were presented in the International Conference on Biotechnology and Biological Sciences, BIOSPECTRUM 2017. Industrial development and urbanization have improved our lives but at the same time affected the ecosystem most adversely. With increasing population, more waste is getting generated and end up in landfill sites. The landfill leachates along with the sewages carrying industrial effluents together contaminate the groundwater and water bodies. In this way, heavy metals, organic and inorganic toxic elements and harmful microbes are translocated from soil/water to plants/animal
