bioaugmentation

Bioaugmentation is a process used in environmental cleanup where specific strains of microorganisms are added to contaminated sites, such as soil or water, to enhance the breakdown of pollutants. These microbes can help degrade harmful substances more efficiently than the native organisms. It’s often employed in situations like oil spills or heavy metal contamination, where natural processes may be too slow. By introducing these specialized microbes, we can accelerate the cleansing of the environment, making it safer and healthier for both ecosystems and human communities.
