Due to irresponsible industrial practices, Australia has hundreds of polluted soil and water environments. This includes the notorious groundwater contamination underlying Botany in Sydney, an area of rich industrial, residential and cultural significance. The use of microbes to clean up polluted environments, such as the Botany groundwater, is known as bioremediation - a process exploiting the natural metabolic versatility of microbes. To clean up the polluted groundwater in Botany, mixed species communities of pollutant degrading microbes are being produced. Novel tools to reveal the inner workings of these microscopic communities are also being developed, giving Australia an unprecedented advantage in the global bioremediation market.

由于不负责任的工业行为，澳大利亚有数百个被污染的土壤和水环境。这包括悉尼植物园下臭名昭著的地下水污染，这是一个具有丰富工业，住宅和文化意义的地区。利用微生物来清理污染的环境，如植物学地下水，被称为生物修复-一个利用微生物天然代谢多功能性的过程。为了净化植物学中受污染的地下水，正在产生污染物降解微生物的混合物种群落。揭示这些微观群落内部运作的新工具也在开发中，这使澳大利亚在全球生物修复市场上具有前所未有的优势。
