How Could Biotechnology Be Used to Remove Toxic Pollutants from Soil and Water?

[killamch89]

Biotechnology has shown promise in tackling environmental pollution, but how can it be specifically applied to remove toxic pollutants from soil and water? I'm curious about the different methods, such as using genetically modified microbes or plants, and their effectiveness in breaking down contaminants like heavy metals or pesticides. What are some real-world examples or research that highlight biotechnology’s potential in environmental cleanup?
