Abstract
Human activities in recent decades have brought many advantages to modern civilization, but they also caused the accumulation of various pollutants in the environment. The situation facing the current generation of human beings can be defined as “stress of waste excess”, mainly due to the technological progress and industrial production. It took decades for people to realize the necessity to remediate environmental damages. This requires essential investments and special technologies, among them bioremediation can be considered as one of the most promising.
