Biological treatments will progressively play a key role in the epuration process. Indeed, they show different advantages like reaction specificity, multiple degradation potentialities and efficiency at very low concentrations of pollutants. Two approaches can be considered for developing biological processes of epuration: addition of bioactivators for improving endogenous microorganisms capabilities or introduction of microorganism starters for accelerating the epuration process. These two ways need as prerequisite a basic knowledge of the metabolic pathways for specific compound degradation and of microbial ecology.
