Nowadays, apart from traditional remediation techniques involving mechanical treatment, we are facing new opportunities of utilizing microorganisms (bioremediation) and plants (phytoremediation) to contain, transform or remove toxic elements present in soils, water and, to some point, in atmosphere. Great diversity of living organisms and application of genetic engineering make bio- and phytoremediation even more attractive.}, type={Text}, title={Biotechnology in remediation of organic contamination}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/89204/PDF/POZN271_115899_biotechnologia-2005-no4-wojcik.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
