| Research Abstract |
Pollution of the environment with toxic chemicals poses a major risk to human health. Known as bioremediation, the utilization of microorganism that convert toxic chemicals to harmless endproducts provides a promising strategy to combat environmental pollution. To aid in the development of more effective bioremediation products and strategies, we developed a novel technique to identify key biodegradative microorganisms in the environment. The developed technique was shown to be highly sensitive and specific and can be readily applied to identify biodegraders in many different environments.
