What are the names of the organisms used in Bioremediation?

The organisms used in bioremediation are microorganisms and plants.The usage of plants in bioremediation is called as phytoremediation.Few examples of microorganisms that can be used in bioremediation are:* Pseudomonas putida in degrading the organic solvents such as toluene, * Pseudomonas aeruginosa in degrading oil (very much likely to be used in remediating oil spill) Few examples of microorganisms that can be used in phytoremediation are:* mutants strains of Arabidopsis thaliana is aluminum tolerant * Plants such as Elodea, Myriophyllum sp. and Phaseolus vulgarus are for the removal of TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene).Regards,Chicken-egg ^.^


The term used to describe microorganisms that are capable of living without air is?

The term used to describe microorganisms that are capable of living without air is "anaerobic." These organisms can survive and grow in environments with low or no oxygen levels by using alternative mechanisms to produce energy. Examples of anaerobic microorganisms include certain bacteria and archaea.


What are examples of a product containing organohalogens?

Examples of products containing organohalogens include flame retardants in electronics, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in building materials, and refrigerants in air conditioners. Organohalogens are also found in pesticides and some pharmaceuticals.

What is bio pesticides?

Bio Pesticides EPA definition: Biopesticides include naturally occurring substances that control pests (biochemical pesticides), microorganisms that control pests (microbial pesticides), and pesticidal substances produced by plants containing added genetic material (plant-incorporated protectants) or PIPs.

What are biodegradable pesticides?

Biodegradable pesticides are pesticides that can break down into harmless compounds in the environment over time. They are designed to minimize the environmental impact of pest control practices by degrading into non-toxic substances that pose less risk to ecosystems.


What are persistent pesticides?

Persistent pesticides are chemicals that remain in the environment and can accumulate over time in soil, water, and organisms. These pesticides do not easily degrade, which can lead to long-lasting environmental and health impacts. Examples include organochlorine pesticides like DDT and chlordane.

What types of pesticides reduce bioaccumulation?

Pesticides that are easily broken down in the environment, have low persistence, volatility, and tendency to accumulate in living organisms are less likely to contribute to bioaccumulation. Examples include microbial pesticides, botanical pesticides, and certain biopesticides that have specific target organisms and low environmental persistence.
