摘要
Bioremediation with microorganisms is an attractive alternative to conventional techniques, such as incineration and chemical treatment, for disposing of pollutants. Recent progress in molecular biology, microbiology, and genetics is providing the driving force towards engineering improved microbes and enzymes for bioremediation. A number of genetic engineering approaches have been developed in the past several years that have proven useful in introducing/evolving the desired properties for different biodegradative pathways or enzymes. The initial excitement generated in this area should continue to pave the way for rational or irrational design of microbes or enzymes with novel remedial properties.
