Vedclass · Answer

(C) Microbes reduce environmental degradation through a process called bioremediation.Certain microorganisms,such as $Pseudomonas$ species,possess the ability to degrade complex chemical pollutants,including hydrocarbons found in oil spills.For example,the genetically engineered 'Chakravarthy Bug' (a strain of $Pseudomonas$ with multiple plasmids) is highly effective in cleaning up oil spills.Other microbes like $Coliform$,$Clostridium$,and $Micrococcus$ also play significant roles in breaking down various toxic industrial chemicals and organic wastes into simpler,non-toxic substances,thereby restoring environmental health.
