Use bioremediation to clean contaminated water and soil. In these processes, as a source of nutrients or energy remediate pollutant. Bioremediation is field application for environment sciences. The main research is bioremediation, biotransformation kinetics, co-metabolism, biogeochemical assessment technology modeling, and attenuation and environmental fate models. Heavy metals are present in the earth\'s crust and can be dissolved in groundwater by natural processes or changes in soil pH. Heavy metal pollution of wastewater. Perhaps the whole world is facing serious environmental problems. Our research is reflected in the remediate and degradation of heavy metals from waste. It produces a various toxic compounds. For biological agents, degradation increases concerns about removal of heavy metals, with high level and low cost. Isolated bacterial species have great potential for producing large amounts of biomass, which are widely used for metal adsorption of Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Cr, As and Ni. Biomass production offers great potential for the use of metal recovery systems. This article describes the use of biological agents to degrade heavy metal contaminants to find solutions to overcome heavy metal problems. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
