Bioremediation using fungi

The Remediators Inc. use scientifically selected fungi to clean contaminated soil. Our method involves creating fungal spawn for application in contaminated soils by growing selected fungi strains on a suitable cellulose carrier, wood chips, sawdust, etc. The fungi-rich bio-degradable spawn is mechanically applied with special equipment developed by The Remediators, Inc. This is soil treatment nature’s way, enhanced, chemical free, and cultured to attack specific contaminates. Spawn production takes four to eight weeks and natural remediation, following application for typical contaminates, usually takes approximately six months.  

Scientific Background 
Fungal bioremediation has a long history (1, 2). Many fungi produce enzymes which have the capacity to break down wood. These same enzymes are able to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons and other toxic compounds. The Remediators Incorporated subjects candidate strains of fungi to a series of tests that indicate their potential to degrade a spectrum of toxic compounds under varying soil conditions. We test hundreds of strains of fungi in our labs and have a growing library of fungal strains with abilities proven to degrade a wide variety of contaminants. We have the resources to produce our soil treatments in large quantities. The Remediators has the experience to design, build, and operate specialized machinery to meet unique field conditions.
