Bioremediation is the use of organisms like bacteria, archea
or fungi to metabolize pollutants. Instead of simply collecting the pollutant,
bioremediation relies on living organisms to consume and break down the
compound, turning it into a natural, harmless product. This technique is often
used to help clean up major oil spills. Watch the following video and article

Prokaryotes and Environmental Bioremediation.
Address the following questions in essay format:
Research a microbe that can be used in bioremediation and
provide the following information:
1) Provide the scientific name and identification of the
bacteria that is used in bioremediation. How is it classified? Give a brief
description of your bacteria. What is it’s normal environment?
2) Which biogeochemical cycle does the bacterium participate
in (Carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus cycling)? How is this important to its role
in bioremediation?
3) How are bacteria as a whole being genetically modified to
improve bioremediation?
3) What are some limitations to using bacteria for
bioremediation?
SLP Assignment Expectations
Page Length: 2 to 3 pages
Format
TUI encourages all students to comply with APA style and
format guidelines for proper citation of references. Use the formatting in your Background page as
a model for citing sources from the SLP assignment.
Scholarly Content
Your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your
final work should include peer reviewed (scholarly) sources.
Please keep in mind that you should not use sources such as
“Answers.com” or “Wikipedia” or “Wikianswers.”
None of these are scholarly sources and they can be “modified” by any
registered user which makes them unreliable. Upload your final word document to
the SLP dropbox.

Scholarly Resources: Scholarly resources are written with a focus on a specific subject discipline and usually written by an expert in the same subject field. Scholarly resources are written for an academic audience.
Examples of Scholarly Resources include: Academic journals, books written by experts in a field, and formally published encyclopedias and dictionaries.
Peer-Reviewed Journals: Peer-reviewed journals are evaluated prior to publication by experts in the journal’s subject discipline. This process ensures that the articles published within the journal are academically rigorous and meet the required expectations of an article in that subject discipline.
Empirical Journal Article: This type of scholarly resource is a subset of scholarly articles that reports the original finding of an observational or experimental research study. Common aspects found within an empirical article include: literature review, methodology, results, and discussion.
Adapted from “Evaluating Resources: Defining Scholarly Resources,” located in Research Guides in the GCU Library.
☐ The writer is clearly in command of standard, written, academic English. Utilize writing resources such as Grammarly, LopesWrite report, and ThinkingStorm to check your writing.
