Abstract
The research into bioremediation as well as the application of bioremediation methods in full-scale operations have a long time history in former Czechoslovakia and more recently in the Czech Republic. Whereas basic research into bioremediation and biodegradation is undertaken at universities and research institutes (Table 1), applied research is principally carried out by companies actively engaged in the bioremediation business.
