Abstrakt: The scope of environmental biotechnology is defined and four examples of recent research in environmental biotechnology involving various types of mixed substrates are discussed in detail and their probable impacts assessed. The four examples are: multiple carbon energy substrate (pollutant) biodegradation by both mono and mixed cultures, the biodegradation of whole microbial cells, the biodegradation of single compounds satisfying dual physiological requirements, i.e., mixed carbon and mineral nutrient sources, and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification.
