Bioremediation Services

Bioremediation is the process where organic contaminants are degraded by the metabolic action of aerobic, microaerophilic, anaerobic microorganisms and fungi. Biodegradation of organic compounds is a natural process where microorganisms gain energy and cell mass through the usage of organic carbon. The organisms are “obligatorily mutualistic” or, in other words, are producing by products that other strains will utilize in their catabolic reactions. Natural degradation rates are hampered by the limited supply of oxygen and nutrients in the subsurface and the presence of other non-degrading organisms which compete for the limited resources.
