NTIS Prices: $11.95 Country of Publication: United States Environmental biotechnology is "the direct use of microorganisms and their capabilities to solve environmental problems and for in-situ agricultural applications and industrial waste treatment". Environmental biotechnology is at the interface between responsible disciplines in engineering, molecular biology, and ecological sciences. The purpose of this research planning effort was to define limitations in the current knowledge base and to develop a research agenda and strategy that will lead to the successful practice of environmental biotechnology. The focus was specifically directed at environmental protection. However, it was recognized that the research plan typifies a central research model for the future development of effective and ecologically sound biotechnology for other environmental applications. 25 refs., 1 fig.
