“A 50 percent reduction in soil contaminants after three months of bioremediation does seem possible,” says Mia Maltz, a soil microbial ecologist at the University of Connecticut. Maltz served ...

Bioremediation offers a more equitable, cost-effective, and environmentally sound alternative by using living organisms like fungi, bacteria, and plants to detoxify contaminated soil and groundwater ...

Jeshuah Gilroy’s research examines a process called bioremediation – using a unique mix of bacteria and fungi to breakdown quinoline, a toxic industrial pollutant. The carcinogenic compound poses ...

Some bacteria eat sugar. Some survive in boiling acid. And now, apparently, some breathe electricity like they’re powering tiny iPhones in their ribosomes. But under the right conditions, it turns out ...

A growing body of scientific work is revealing a remarkable feature of certain microbes. They can “breathe” in a way that produces electricity instead of relying on oxygen, suggesting unusual survival ...

In the light of these, the use of biological agents to restore contaminated sites termed ‘bioremediation’ is considered to be a more eco-friendly and cost-effective means of remediation. Hence, these ...

The development of the smart bioremediation methods includes the direct application of the potential screened microbial strains and their enzymes. The immobilized microbial strains and their enzymes ...

The removal of such pollutants from the environment is a real‐life issue. Bioremediation is a process that makes use of living systems especially microbes to the destruction of toxicants. And hence, ...
