8.5 Techniques of Bioremediation Treatment
Rajendran and Gunasekaran (2019) described eight categories of bioremediation
treatment of contaminated soil environment (Fig. 8.2).
8.5.1 Bioaugmentation
Bioaugmentation technique is an in situ process of bioremediation of contaminated
soil. In this process, the contaminated soil is treated with the microbial culture, which
has immense properties of remediation of the soil through the various biological
mechanisms. The microbial activity totally depends on the congenial environmental
condition (Zaidi et al. 2012; Vidali 2001).
