Fundamentals of Environmental Biotechnology


Description:
We accept experimental, theoretical, and computational contributions associated with the environmental applications and implications of biotechnology at the fundamental level. Relevant topics include (but not limited) to: (a): uses of biotechnology in wastewater treatment (b): uses of biotechnology in the production of biofuels (c): uses of biotechnology in hydrogen production and carbon sequestration
