State of the Art on the Potential of Bioaugmentation Techniques in the Treatment of Wastes, Sediments and Contaminated Soils

Summary

What is the potential of techniques using exogenous micro-organisms (natural or genetically modified) in the biotreatment of waste, soil or sediment? To answer this question, this paper reviews the research that has been carried out (laboratory and on-site experiments). The study also includes a critical assessment of the consortia on the market and a regulatory review of the conditions under which these techniques are used.
