The in-class assignment helped me to determine which aspects of the bioremediation I would like to explore for my midterm assignment, I’m particularly interested in the fact that organisms feed from toxic waste and that waste is their fuel and energy to maintain them alive. I’m fascinated by the idea that something that is supposed to kill (for example, toxic waste is supposed to kill humans) however, this organisms somehow find a way to use that as food and by doing that it improves the conditions of their environment. I Im very interested in understanding what are the conditions that are necessary for that to happen and how everyday citizens can get involved in that process, what are the steps and the materials needed in order for this microbes to “eat more contaminants”.
