  Bioremediation is the use of microorganism metabolism to remove pollutants.     Some examples of bioremediation technologies are phytoremediation , bioventing , bioleaching , landfarming , bioreactor , composting , bioaugmentation , rhizofiltration , and biostimulation .     Rhodococcus rhodochrous, B. subtilis  is a bacterium used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture     Soil inoculants are bacteria or fungi that are added to soils in order to improve plant growth by either: The most commonly used soil inoculants are rhizobacteria that live symbiotically with legumes such as peas , beans , etc. These bacteria live within specialized nodules on the root systems of legumes, where they process atmospheric nitrogen into a form available for the plants to use. Another group of common soil inoculants are mycorrhizal fungi, which attach to the roots of many plant species and help conduct water and nutrients for the ...

Biorobotics is a term that loosely covers the fields of cybernetics , bionics and even genetic engineering as a collective study. Biorobotics is often used to refer to a real subfield of robotics : studying how to make robots that emulate or simulate living biological organisms mechanically or even chemically. The term is also used in a reverse definition: making biological organisms as manipulatable and functional as robots, or making biological organisms as components of robots. In the latter sense biorobotics can be referred to as a theoretical discipline of comprehensive genetic engineering in which organisms are created and designed by artificial means. The creation of life from non-living matter for example, would be biorobotics. The field is in its infancy and is sometimes known as synthetic biology or bionanotechnology . The replicants in the film Blade Runner would be considered biorobotic in nature: (synthetic) organisms of living tissue and cells yet created artifi...
