List five ways in which algae are useful to us?
(i) kelps- obtained from brown algae, are sources of iodine and potassium.(ii)blue-green algae like ANABAENA and NOSTOC are able to fix nitrogen in the form of nitrates and thus increase the fertility of soil..(iii) an antibiotic CHLORELLIN is obtained from the algae Chlorella..(iv) red algae is used in the preparation of agar agar , which is used in jellies and ice-creams..(v)iodine is produced by the brown algae- Laminaria which occurs in sea....(vi)diatoms- obtained from green algae are used to make metal polish,porcelain, toothpaste, glass, etc........
What is Bioremediation?
Bioremediation uses living organisms to clean up contaminated soil or water. Despite its broad definition, bioremediation usually refers specifically to the use of microorganisms. Bioremediation is a combination of two words - bio, short for biological, and remediation, which means to remedy. The use of plants to clean up the environment, known as phytoremediation, is also considered a type of bioremediation.Bioremediation can occur on its own (natural attenuation or intrinsic bioremediation) or can be spurred on via the addition of fertilizers to increase the bioavailability within the medium (biostimulation). Recent advancements have also proven successful via the addition of matched microbe strains to the medium to enhance the resident microbe population's ability to break down contaminants. Microorganisms used to perform the function of bioremediation are known as bioremediators.
How can bioremediation be harmful?
From the theoretical standpoint, there are no disadvantages to bioremediation The process involves using biological methods to recycle or reconstitute waste products.The only disadvantages are:cost of start-up (since this method is not widely accepted)Governmental aid or regulation (this again reflects on the first point. Many governments fail to see the potential long term benefits of bioremediation)
What does alga do?
Mutualism: mutually beneficial association between different kinds of organisms n Example: A clam and algae o The alga lives inside the shell of the clam and provides the clam with the oxygen and food the clam needs to survive. In return the clam supplies the alga with protection, carbon dioxide and nutrients.
What is uranium bioremediation?
Uranium bioremediation is a process that uses microorganisms to clean up environments contaminated with uranium. These microorganisms can either immobilize the uranium in the soil or convert it into less harmful forms, reducing its toxicity and environmental impact. This technique is considered a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional remediation methods.
How can you get some bioremediation?
That is a very complicated questions because bioremediation has so many different meaning. For example, BioWorld Hydrocarbon Treatment is a form of bioremediation. They add microbes to an oil spill along with an enhancer to speed up the cleaning process. Some companies just add microbes and call that bioremediation, some just add a fertilizer (which can cause algae to bloom, which isn't good). So I would look up BioWorld's Hydrocarbon treatment! Look up their website.
Are viruses are involved in bioremediation?
not at all. some virus destruct algal blooms but nothing else is known yet.
What is in situ petroleum bioremediation?
Bioremediation of petroleum is not effected by amount of oxygen present
Is algae involved in the eukaryotic group that contain microorganisms?
Algae have eukariyotic cells.There are micro and macro algaes.
Is bioremediation safe?
yes, bioremediation is very safe because it used bacteria to clean up contaminated environments.
What has the author John T Cookson written?
John T. Cookson has written: 'Bioremediation Engineering' -- subject(s): Bioremediation
How could bioremediation affect the way companies dispose of toxic wastes?
so hows everyone here in this website bioremediation
What is bioremidations?
The correct spelling is bioremediation and not bioremediation. Bioremediation is using deliberately introduced or naturally occurring microorganisms to break down environmental pollutants. Other forms of life can be used to consume the pollutants as well. The process cleans up a polluted area.
What is an example sentence using the word bioremediation?
Bioremediation is using a species to clean up a specific area.
What is an assimilator?
An assimilator is a a filament of cells involved with photosynthesis in algae, which are usually full of chloroplasts.
