Bioremediation and "green chemistry"

Abstract

Bioremediation is basically a process which represents the ability of microorganisms to decom- pose different dangerous contaminants, and it has an increasingly key role in detoxification of con- taminated soil and groundwater. These processes are getting their place owing to capacity of enzyme metabolism of microorganisms to transform organic contaminants into pollutants and less dangerous compounds. But, we should not forget that this method cannot always be applied. Among the available options for purification of contaminated soils, bioremediation is the best because it is less disturbing to environment and from the economic point of view-it costs less.
