Bioremediation
- It is a branch of biotechnology that employs the use of living organisms, like microbes and bacteria, in the removal of contaminants, pollutants, and toxins from soil, water, and other environments.
- Bioremediation is used to clean up oil spills or contaminated groundwater.
- Bioremediation may be done “in situ”–at the site of the contamination–or “ex situ”–away from the site.
