Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon Pollution

Objective

The objective of this research proposal is to produce a micro-biological formula to be used on a commercial basis for the bioremediation and degradation of hydrocarbon wastes particularly in water courses or in terrestrial circumstances with a direct or (indirect??) impact on water courses. Research is required to identify optimum consortia of micro-organisms for a variety of contaminants and to find an economical, "off the shelf" means of providing solutions to commercial and environmental organisations.
