The wide metabolic and physiological versatility of microorganisms can be used to degrade many pollutants. Bioremediation is the technological process whereby biological systems are harnessed to effect the clean-up of environmental pollutants. Nowadays, microbial systems are employed in bioremediati

## Abstract Daramend bioremediation technology was used to treat 1100 tonnes of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)βcontaminated soil at a former lindane manufacturing plant. Half of the site (area A) was treated using a cycled anoxic/oxic treatment, and the other half (area B) was treated under oxic condi
## Abstract In the past few decades, increased awareness of environmental pollution has led to the exploitation of microbial metabolic potential in the construction of several genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) for bioremediation purposes. At the same time, environmental concerns and regu
