Abstract:

Bioremediation is a national goal for restoration and cleanup of contaminated land and water bodies. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae can be enhanced to remove pollutants from the environment, as this organism obtain both energy and tissue building materials when they feed on wide variety of compound found in environmental contaminants. These microbes are often isolated from the nature or have been modified through genetic engineering to break down and convert heavy compounds to harmless organic compound. Growing microbes in the laboratory require maximum concentration and should not be considered as safe.
