Bioremediation is using bacteria to fight:
A
Lions
B
Plants
C
Viruses
D
Pollution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bioremediation uses micro-organisms to reduce pollution through the biological degradation of pollutants into non-toxic substances. This can involve either aerobic or anaerobic micro-organisms that often use this breakdown as an energy source.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bioremediation can be defined as any process that uses bacteria, fungi, green plants or their enzymes to return the environment altered by contaminants to its original condition. Bacteria that can degrade some soil contaminants such as chlorinated hydrocarbons are used in bioremediation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bioremediation is the process of using microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants to break down, change, remove, immobilize, or detoxify various physical and chemical pollutants in the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Besides, bacteria are also efficient in heavy metals bioremediation. Microorganisms have developed the capabilities to protect themselves from heavy metal toxicity by various mechanisms, such as adsorption, uptake, methylation, oxidation and reduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -The bacteria break down the carbon compounds in plastic to use as food for their growth. The scientists say that enriching waters with particular species of bacteria could be a natural way to remove plastic pollution from the environment.
