Pioneering discoveries in the field of biochemical science including research on the deterioration of Scott and Shackleton's Antarctic expedition huts has seen the University of Waikato award the title of Emeritus Professor to Professor Roberta Farrell.

Eco Preservation Bioremediation Bioremediation of a contaminated site typically works in one of two ways. In the case described above, ways are found to enhance the growth of whatever pollution-eating microbes might already be living at the contaminated site. In the second, less common case, specialized microbes are added to degrade the contaminants.

cleantechnica.com National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed an innovative way to purify water, based on apple peels. A study published in the American Chemical Society's journal Applied Materials & Interfaces, explains how the NUS team added zirconium oxides to the apple peels and found that they removed negatively charged pollutants in water, including phosphate, aresenate, arsenite, and chromate ions.

Railway clean-up, Laramie River The 1.5-mile Laramie River Greenbelt Trail Southern Loop was declared an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site due to a century of chemical treatments of the railway ties. Now the clean-up depends on the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, and Parks and Recreation Director Paul Harrison, who explained the process of planting eight thousand trees to clean the soil and water. The bioremediation is expected to take twenty years.

study available on bioremediation of mangroves Researchers develop a bioremediation strategy for oil-contaminated mangrove sediments using chitosan beads containing an immobilised hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial consortium.
ScienceDirect.com The present study assessed the reduction of nutrients and organic matter in polluted waters using Myriophyllum aquaticum. Twelve experimental groups were established and distributed in six control groups (CG) and six plant treated groups (PTG).

Institute of Microbiology Paulo de Góes, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Enzymatic remediation is a valuable alternative as it can be easier to work with than whole organisms, especially in extreme environments. Furthermore, the use of free enzymes avoids the release of exotic or genetically modified organisms (GMO) in the environment.
