Bioremediation refers to the use of naturally occurring microorganisms (yeast, fungi, or bacteria) to break down hazardous substances into nontoxic substances. Certain microorganisms can eat and digest organic substances such as fuels or solvents for their nutrients and energy. The microorganisms break down the organic contaminants into harmless products, mainly carbon dioxide and water. Bioremediation offers an attractive alternative to other remediation processes in terms of its relatively low cost and low environmental impact.
