Which microbial strains are most effective in bioremediation, and what factors influence their efficiency in contaminated environments?

5 weeks ago 1 8K Report

Environmental biotechnology studies how microorganisms can degrade pollutants. I want to understand how these microbes are applied in real-world bioremediation projects.

Abdelhak Maghchiche

Effective microbial strains for bioremediation include Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Rhodococcus, and microbial consortia, which degrade pollutants by metabolizing them under optimized environmental conditions. Their efficiency is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, oxygen, nutrients, and pollutant bioavailability, with many successful real-world applications combining microbial and plant-based approaches.
