Development and analysis of two bioaugmentation approaches: a volatile organic compound bioaugmentation case and a pentachlorophenol bioaugmentation case [PDF]
, 2020 Bioaugmentation (i.e. introduction of microorganism with specific metabolic capacity that can enhance biological processes) as a cost-effective method for remediation of environmental pollutants, has gained popularity over the decades. One of the most challenging concerns in the use of this technology is the sustainability of the bioaugmentation system.
