Bioremediation for Sustainable Environmental Cleanup

microbial remediation, including research in the field of bioremediation. Additionally, advanced

transgenic plants and microbes, as well as modern genetic strategies widen the application of

bioremediation and finally lead to lesser environmental disturbances and production of a much safer

and healthy ecosystem.
