Bioremediation is a process in which micro-organism convert the pollutant present in the polluted site to simpler compounds. In this way, it enhanced the biodegradation of the pollutant.

yes bioremediation is a process where conditions are optimized for biodegradation of pollutant. Bioremediation has two strategies:

1. Biostimulation

2. Bioaugmentation

Moreover, bioremediation can be done in-situ or ex-situ.

Hi, this is a simple pictorial interpretation of the bioremediation process:

If we used plants to clean-up the environment, etc, it is termed phytoremediation:

For example, we used a very simple system of growing selected ferns to mop away the arsenic and the water is drinkable after passing through the roots of the selectern ferns.

Large-scale bioremediation project is also feasible provided you received adequate technical and financial support for the project. Here, selected floating plants are placed in a modular floating structure and the concomitant nutrient levels of the water will be lowered as growth of water plants will require nutrients. Such plant-based systems are dependent on the availability of light (ie, sunshine), work better (or more effective in water cleansing) in "closed"-systems (e.g. lakes, waterbodies, canals with lower flow rates) than during storm surges or extreme flood events. Good luck to your project!

This is good! Thanks for your pictorial charts-gives a clear picture of what happens during some forms of bioremediation.More interested in Bioremediation by white-rot fungi

Bioremediation is a rapid cost effective and ecologically responsible method of "clean up" which utilizes micro-organisms to degrade toxic pollutants in an efficient economical approach .Toxic chemicals are degraded to less harmful forms.Mushroom forming fungi(mostly basidiomycetes) are amongst nature's most powerful decomposers,secreting strong extracellular enzymes due to their aggressive growth and biomass production.These enzymes include Li P, Mn P ,Laccase,e.t.c

Bioremediation techniques harness the natural activities of microorganisms and higher organisms to degrade, transform and/or accumulate a wide range of compounds including hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pharmaceutical substances, radionuclides and metals, leading ultimately to removal of the pollutants from the environment. They have been used, and proved successful in enhancing the cleanup of pollutants in contaminated environments

This explains the term as well
