  1. BIOREMEDIATION Sage Lincoln

  2. Pollution

  3. Bioremediation

  4. In-Situ and Ex-Situ Bioremediation • In-Situ • Ex-Situ

  5. 3 MAIN TYPES OF BIOREMEDIATION • Phytoremediation • Mycoremediation • Microbial Bioremediation

  6. Phytoremediation • Plant Selection • Conditions, ability, rate • Concentration and size • 1990, now over 200 sites

  7. Phytoremediation: Metal Hyperaccumulators

  8. Phytoremediation • Chemically Altering Pollutant • Hydraulic Control • Volatilization

  9. Mycoremediation • Fungi: Nature’s decomposers • Organic compounds, hydrocarbons • Enzymes • Hyperaccumulators

  10. Mycoremediation Examples • Shiitake Mushroom – pentachlorophenol • Italian oyster mushrooms – Atrazine

  11. Microbial Bioremediation • Use of Microorganisms, either natural or added • Promoted • Use of Contaminants as energy source • Aerobic vs Anaerobic (e donor)

  12. Bioremediation and Genetic Engineering • Plants have been bred– poplar hybrids • Research • American University of Puerto Rico • Mercury Microbe • Lots of hopes • Concerns

  13. Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

  14. Republic Jeffco Landfill
