Publication year: 2010 Source: Biotechnology Advances, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 13 December 2010 Y., Ma , M.N.V., Prasad , M., Rajkumar , H., Freitas Technogenic activities (industrial – plastic, textiles, microelectronics, wood preservatives; mining – mine refuse, tailings, smelting; agrochemicals – chemical fertilizers, farm yard manure, pesticides; aerosols – pyrometallurgical and automobile exhausts; biosolids – sewage sludge, domestic waste; fly ash – coal combustion products) are the primary sources of heavy metal contamination and pollution in the environment in addition to geogenic sources. During the last two decades, bioremediation has emerged as a potential tool to cleanup the metal contaminated/polluted environment. Exclusively derived processes by plants alone (phytoremediation) are time consuming
