noun ˌbʌɪə(ʊ)rɪˌmiːdiˈeɪʃ(ə)nˌbīōriˌmēdēˈāSHən
mass noun
  • The use of either naturally occurring or deliberately introduced microorganisms to consume and break down environmental pollutants, in order to clean a polluted site.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • And many more species are turning out to be useful for major industries such as biological control, biological mining, bioremediation and environmental monitoring.
    • These graphic warnings about the future of our resource base are thoughtfully balanced by helpful discussions of realistic solutions such as integrated pest management and bioremediation.
    • Thus bioremediation could be utilised to effectively correct the existing imbalances and eliminate the need for chemical treatment.
    • ‘Eventually, we'll want to understand how these genes are regulated under a variety of growth conditions and in different environments to see how they might be applied in bioremediation,’ says Dunn.
    • Widely celebrated environmentalist John Todd doesn't promise that his aquatic bioremediation system - a sewage treatment system which involves floating plant islands that purify polluted waters - could live up to its hype in Montreal.
    • The land was then treated by a variety of methods, including solidification, bioremediation and indirect thermal desorption.
    • In general, chemical catalysis offers faster reactions times than bioremediation schemes but also tends to be more expensive.
    • Our initial focus was on biodiversity and food and farming issues, as well as bioremediation and natural treatment systems for decontaminating the environment.

    • We believe that the technology has potential, particularly in therapeutics, bioremediation, and other aspects, but that we should proceed with extreme caution.
    • The bioremediation method, which uses environmentally friendly biological systems, transforms these toxic chemicals into non-harmful chemicals, and in some cases into high-value fine chemicals.
    • This has advanced bioremediation of metal-contaminated soil environments, where some plants have been shown to internalize toxic elements such as cadmium, arsenic, and nickel.
    • This tolerance has practical application in bioremediation and in efforts to colonize polluted sites.
    • In our studies at Oxford, we set out to determine if we could improve clean-up of chemically mixed waste by developing a system based on a more thorough knowledge of the microorganisms involved in bioremediation.
    • Microorganisms can be used for biodegradation and bioremediation by breaking down toxic compounds.
    • These advances can also lead to new tools for bioremediation and to cleaner industrial processes that use fewer toxic chemicals.
    • Tiny microorganisms such as bacteria are often the agents of choice for bioremediation.
    • Some are being used in bioremediation projects, such as cleaning up oil and industrial waste, and some are employed in the mining industry.
