Description
Microorganisms offer a more effective and economical means of reducing or eliminating environmental contamination than more traditional treatment methods. This study examines the role of microbes, from theoretical, field and applied perspectives, in the degradation of toxic organic chemicals. Current research and future trends are presented, with particular emphasis on the use of molecular techniques in bioremediation.
