Biodiversity

Bioremediation is broadly referring to any process wherein a biological system (typically bacteria, micro-algae, fungi, and plants), living or dead, is employed for removing environmental pollutants from air, water, soil, flue gasses, industrial effluents, etc., in natural or artificial settings. What has attracted the use of biological resources in the treatment of the contaminated environment is the natural ability of organisms to absorb, accumulate, and degrade common and emerging pollutants. 

Bioremediation is a branch of biotechnology that employs the use of living organisms, for example, microbes and bacteria, in the removal of pollutants, contaminants, and toxins from soil, water, and other environments. This may be used to clean up contaminated groundwater or environmental problems, such as oil spills.
