Bioremediation for Sustainable Environmental Cleanup

and biomineralization are examples of these processes. Furthermore, because there is no acceptable

endpoint, evaluating the performance of bioremediation may be difficult. More research is needed

to develop bioremediation technologies and find more biological solutions for the bioremediation of

heavy metal contamination from various environmental systems.
