      abstract = {Ammonia in wastewater causes the eutrophication of water  bodies and the subsequent depletion of dissolved oxygen. In  addition, certain forms of nitrogen such as ammonia,  nitrite, and nitrate are highly toxic to aquatic life.  Although there are several biological and  physical⁰́b3chemical techniques for the removal of  ammoniacal nitrogen compounds, including air stripping and  breakpoint chlorination, which have been widely applied, a  microbiological or microbe-based approach is attractive  because it is based on sustainable technologies. In this  regard, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria have recently gained  great interest, specifically in wastewater treatment plants  for the removal of ammoniacal nitrogen especially, owing to  its relatively low capital cost, eco-friendliness, and high  efficiency when compared with conventional cleanup  technologies. This book provides specific and advanced  knowledge on the microbial ecology of ammonia-oxidizing  bacteria and their diversity and functions in the treatment  of toxic pollutants present in wastewater. The book thus  serves as a valuable resource for engineers, scientists,  and managers who require an excellent introductory and  advanced knowledge of the field, professionals who are  working or interested in the environmental microbiology or  bioremediation field, and students learning about  environmental biotechnology and microbiology.},
