Advantages of Bioremediation
Bioremediation is a natural process and is therefore perceived by the public as an acceptable waste treatment process for contaminated material such as soil. More >
New opportunities in earth friendly biotechnology
Environmental biotechnology is not a new field, composting and wastewater treatments are familiar examples of old biotechnologies. Recent studies in molecular biology and ecology offer new opportunities for more efficient processes. More >
