Biodegradation and Bioremediation of Organic Compounds
Offered By: American Society for Microbiology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of microbial biodegradation and bioremediation in this 30-minute lecture by Distinguished McKnight University Professor Lawrence Wackett, PhD. Delve into the remarkable ability of microorganisms to break down environmental chemicals and learn how this property is harnessed in engineered systems for bioremediation. Discover the role of prokaryotes in oil spill cleanup, understand the mechanisms by which bacteria consume oil and other chemicals, and gain insights into biocatalysis biodegradation databases and pathway prediction systems. Examine real-world examples and applications of these microbial processes in addressing environmental challenges, with a focus on water treatment. This informative talk, presented by the American Society for Microbiology, offers a comprehensive overview of the crucial role microorganisms play in environmental remediation and chemical degradation.
