Biodegradation is a natural process, whereas the degradation of
a pesticide by an organism is primarily a strategy for their own
survival. Most of these microbes work in natural environment but
some modifications can be brought about to encourage these
organisms to degrade the pesticide at a faster rate in a limited
time. Knowledge of physiology, biochemistry and genetics of the
desired microbe may further enhance the microbial process to
achieve bioremediation with precision and with limited or no
scope for uncertainty and variability in microbial functioning.
