Recent demonstrations of the removal and immobilization of inorganic contaminants by microbial transformations, sorption and mineralization show the potential of both natural and engineered microbes as bioremedial tools. Demonstrations of microbe-mediated mineral formation in biofilms implicate this mode of microbial life in geological evolution and remediation of inorganic contaminants.
近期通过微生物转化、吸附和矿化作用去除并固定无机污染物的实例表明，天然微生物和工程微生物作为生物修复工具均具有潜力。生物膜中微生物介导的矿物形成实例表明，这种微生物生存方式在地质演化和无机污染物修复中发挥作用。
