Soil Bioremediation in Heavy Metal Contaminated Mining Areas: A Microbiological/Biotechnological Point of View
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Microbiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Bioremediation concerns the use of plants and microorganisms or their parts, for the decontamination and recuperation of polluted areas. The improvement of the bioremediation techniques is possible due to the last decade advances of the microbiological and biotechnological knowledge and methods. This study aimed to shortly review and discuss the bioremediation of mining areas contaminated with heavy metals focusing in some microbiological and biotechnological techniques. Strategies considered to be important on further studies are also presented.
