Question
Chapter 27, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way by which a bacterial product can be developed that could be used for remediation of a particular site contaminated with materials that are harmful to humans.
Introduction: Several bacteria are useful to humans in the fact that they can be utilized to clean up various industrial spills and other hazardous and harmful materials. These bacteria are able to break down organic components which are useful for the cleanup of oil spills, wastewater, and pesticides.
