Detailed explanation-1: -Biodegradation is a process by which microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and yeast break down complex compounds into simpler products. Biodegradation of oil is a natural process that slowly removes oil from the aquatic environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bioremediation is any process that uses decomposers and green plants, or their enzymes, to improve the condition of contaminated environments. Bacteria can be used to clean up oil spills in the ocean through bioremediation.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -At the time, Pseudomonas was the only genus of bacteria known to break down pollutants. To make a Pseudomonas super-bug, Dr. Chakrabarty combined the DNA of four different species of petroleum-degrading Pseudomonas to generate a new species called Pseudomonas putida.
