Bioaugmentation refers to:
1
Developing microbial strains through genetic engineering which can degrade pollutants and toxic compounds efficiently.
2
Ex- situ bioremediation of toxins from soil or any other contaminant site by addition of selected microbes to enhance biodegradation.
3
Addition of nutrients at contaminated sites to enhance growth of indigenous microflora which will in turn degrade pollutants
4
Addition of selected microbes both archaea and bacteria to the polluted site so that biodegradation is enhanced.
