Waste Biotreatment
Confined environments, such as bioreactors, have been engineered to overcome the physical, chemical and biological limiting factors of biotreatment processes in highly controlled systems. The great versatility in the design of confined environments allows the treatment of a wide range of wastes under optimized conditions. Microorganisms with a variety of genomes and expressed transcripts and proteins can be used. Several high-throughput techniques originally developed for medical studies can be applied to assess biotreatment in confined environments.

“The sea, vast and wild as it is, bears thus the waste and wrecks of human art to its remotest shore. There is no telling what it may not vomit up.”
