SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BIOREMEDIATION OF SOIL

摘要

Systems and methods for performing bioremediation using the Geobacillus sp. bacterial strain are provided which are capable of effectively degrading Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and efficiently degrading other ring-based organic contaminants. The exemplary bioremediation methods include steps for administering an effective, degrading amount of the bacteria to soil containing excess amounts of BaP and incubating the bacteria administered to the soil at a given temperature and for a duration that are suitable for promoting incubation and reducing and the concentration of BaP below a maximum concentration, as might be specified by a regulatory body.
