bioaugmented bioremediation

Bioaugmented bioremediation is an environmental cleanup method that enhances the natural ability of microorganisms to break down pollutants. In this process, specific beneficial microbes are added to contaminated sites, such as soil or water, to boost the existing microbial population. These added microbes can digest harmful substances, such as oil spills or heavy metals, more effectively. By improving the efficiency of decomposition, bioaugmented bioremediation helps restore ecosystems and reduces environmental hazards in a sustainable way, often making it a preferred solution for managing pollution.
