How do Microorganisms Contribute to Bioremediation?
Bioremediation is the process by which microorganisms are used to degrade environmental pollutants into less toxic forms. Certain bacteria can metabolize contaminants like hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and pesticides, making them invaluable in cleaning up contaminated sites. The efficiency of bioremediation depends on the microbial population, environmental conditions, and the nature of the contaminants.
