21. Bioremediation refers to the microorganism-based clean up of contaminated soils and associated water.22. Rittmann's PhD research involved bioremediation of organic micropollants from wastewater recharge to aquifers. 23. His work expanded to the bioremediation of chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, and radionuclides. 24. Directed evolution of bacterial proteins related to bioremediation of radionuclides is also a field research. 25. In fact, over the past decade, bioremediation has been used a number of times. 26. Techniques include leaching, air sparging, chemical amendments, phytoremediation, bioremediation and natural degradation. 27. Species of Desulfitobacterium are being investigated for their potential in the bioremediation of halogenic organic compounds. 28. He is interested in the use of mushrooms in bioremediation , a process he terms mycoremediation. 29. Accordingly, it has the potential for a wide variety of capabilities and applications in bioremediation . 30. It is able to degrade carbazole, and as such, may be used in bioremediation .
