Microbial remediation of xenobiotics has shown to be effective and the low-cost technology, but it still has several limitations. Consequently, the genetic engineering approaches are used to create the new strain of microbes (Genetically engineered microorganisms, GEMS) which have better catabolic potential than the wild type species for bioremediation.
Microbial remediation of xenobiotics has proven effective, but it still faces several limitations. Consequently, genetic engineering techniques are employed to create new microbial strains (Genetically engineered microorganisms, GEMS) that exhibit enhanced catabolic capabilities compared to their wild-type counterparts for bioremediation purposes.
