UGA harnesses unique bacteria for potential environmental remediation applications

“UGA is currently seeking partners interested in licensing this technology and also partnering with professor Hollibaugh toward the development of additional industrial uses for the invention,” said Gennaro Gama, senior technology licensing manager at UGA. “We believe this technology represents a feasible solution to many kinds of environmental contamination, but it also is useful for producing important commodities such as antimony trioxide, elemental selenium and tellurium.”
