INTRODUCTION:-
The process of bioremediation was reportedly devised by George M Robinson in the 1960 during experimentation with dirty jars and the introduction of microbes this was however not applied until the 1972 clean out of the fuel holding tanks on the RMS queen mary.
Science 1972 bioremediation has become greater developed as a means of cleaning up spills of gasoline diesel , heavy metals and other easily degraded petroleum products (National Research Council 1993).
Bioremediation refers to the use of microorganisms to degrade contaminants that pose environmental and especially human risks. Due to its safety and convenience it has became an accepted remedy for cleaning polluted soil and water.
A widely used approach to bioremediation involves stimulating a group of organisms in order to shift the microbial ecology towards the desired process. This term is known as biostimulation.
Biostimulation can be achieved through changes in pH, moisture, aeration or nutrient addition.
DEFINATION:-
Biodegradation:-
Biodegradation or biological degradation is the phenomenon of biological transformation of organic compounds by living organisms (Microbes).
It usually involves the conversion of complex organic molecules to simple and mostly non toxic ones.
Bioremediation:-
‘Bio’ means living organisms and ‘remediate’ means to solve a problem. “Bio-remediate” means to use biological organisms to solve.
Bioremediation can be defined as “the use of living organisms (Primary microorganisms) to degrade through waste treatment”.
The environmental pollution i.e. toxic waste formed in soil, water, air.
The microbes act as sc avenger’s bioremediation.
The removal of organic wastes by microbes for environmental cleanup is the goal of bioremediation.
The other names used for bioremediation are biotreatment, bioclamation and bio-restoration.
Xenobiotics Compounds:-
‘Xenos’ means foreign.
These are manmade chemical that are present in the
