Wakame and Halomonas Bacteria May Help Remediate Polluted Seawater
in The Biotech Weblog, on May 10, 2008
Scientists from Japan and China are exploring the use of the brown seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida , known as wakame as a means to extract organic and inorganic pollutants in seawater. After culturing wakame in polluted seawater, it may then be used as a fertilizer,; thus, the composting ...
Using Dehalococcoides to Reduce Tricholorethene Contamination in Groundwater
in The Biotech Weblog, on February 29, 2008
Researchers have demonstrated that a water treatment system using microorganisms called membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is effective in eliminating the common contaminant chlorinated solvent trichloroethene (TCE) from groundwater .
