Bioremediation is the use of organisms to metabolize pollutants. Instead of simply collecting the pollutant and storing it, bioremediation relies on living organisms to consume and break down the compound, turning it into harmless, natural substances. Bioremediators are any organism used for bioremediation. Typically, microbes like bacteria, archaea and fungi are the prime bioremediators.
There are lots of different types, they grow very rapidly and they can be easily modified genetically. This doesn't mean plants and animals can't be used as bioremediators. It simply means that these microbes are much easier to use and often better suited to the tasks at hand. In order to better understand bioremediation, let's continue with the theme of oil spills.
