Chapter 1 – What is Microbiology and Why Does it Matter
... Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms to detoxify industrial waste. Microorganisms use the toxic waste as a source of energy, and the toxic substances are consequently converted into a less harmful substance. As a result, decontamination of polluted areas can be achieved. B. For example, oil t ...
