This book describes the complex processes involved in styrene
degradation by microbes, including highly adaptive microorganisms, the
various enzymes involved in styrene biodegradation, new
styrene-catabolic routes, novel regulatory mechanisms, and the genes
coding for styrene metabolizing enzymes. Numerous biotechnological
applications are discussed, such as the development of sustainable
eco-friendly technologies as well as the use of styrene degrading
microorganisms and their enzymes as a rich resource for biotechnology.
