Biodegradation

As per available reports about 15 journals, 1 Conferences are presently dedicated exclusively to Biodegradation and about 964 articles are being published on the current trends in Biodegradation. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. As reported in above mentioned article, Biodegradation is the chemical dissolution of materials by bacteria or other biological means. Although often conflated, biodegradable is distinct in meaning from compostable. While biodegradable simply means to be consumed by microorganisms and return to compounds found in nature, "compostable" makes the specific demand that the object break down in a compost pile."The relative ease with which petroleum hydrocarbons will degrade as a result of biological metabolism. Although virtually all petroleum hydrocarbons are biodegradable, biodegradability is highly variable and dependent somewhat on the type of hydrocarbon. In general, biodegradability increases with increasing solubility; solubility is inversely proportional to molecular weight." Biosurfactant, an extracellular surfactant secreted by microorganisms, enhances the biodegradation process.

The Journal of Bioremediation & Biodegradation is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Biodegradation. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Bioremediation & Biodegradation provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Biodegradation and bioinformatics, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS Group is a pioneer and leading scientific event organizer, which publishes around 300 Open Access Journals and organizes over 100 Scientific Conferences all over the globe annually with the support from various scientific associations and 20,000 editorial board members. Since its inception, OMICS Group has focused on meeting the needs of the scientific community, through strong tie-up with business and industry, while at the same time accomplishing international benchmarks and accreditation standards. OMICS Group Conferences is collaborated with European Biotechnology Thematic Network Association, BIOVAL, FEBiotec, SILAE for Biotechnology-2014 with an aim to make the event more interactive and to create global network by the involvement of the association member. The year 2014 is declared as the Spanish year of biotechnology by Spanish parliament. According to the Spanish State Budget 2014, the Year of Biotechnology comes under the status of exceptional public interest. It’s believed that the status exceptional public interest will help in boosting the Biotechnology and allied sector which will play a crucial role in enhancing the Spanish economy. This budget of 2014 supports the promoters in terms of tax benefits that are involved in the activities in the field of Biotechnology.

OMICS Group hosts over 400 leading-edge peer reviewed Open Access Journals and organize over 300 International Conferences annually all over the world. OMICS International journals have over 3 million readers and the fame and success of the same can be attributed to the strong editorial board which contains over 30000 eminent personalities that ensure a rapid, quality and quick review process. OMICS Group signed an agreement with more than 500 International Societies to make healthcare information Open Access.
