Bioremediation is a biotechnological/ecological process in which living organisms, most commonly bacteria and fungi (and sometimes algae or plants — phytoremediation), are used to clean up sites contaminated by pollutants such as crude oil spills, heavy metals, pesticides, industrial effluents or sewage. The organisms metabolise the pollutant molecules as a source of carbon and energy, converting toxic compounds into simpler, harmless products like carbon dioxide and water. Because it relies on naturally occurring or specifically selected/engineered microbial strains rather than harsh chemical or physical treatment, bioremediation is g …
