Which of the following are examples of bioaugmentation? An old uranium mine is being restored to be a park by adding cyanobacteria that remove uranium from the environment. "A field that was exhaustively used for growing soybeans is lacking in Nitrogen and can no longer support additional crops. Scientists add lupine plants to the field, as they have root mutualists that fix Nitrogen into the soil. " "A large crude oil spill has contaminated 2,000 hectares of land. Biologists introduce fungi to the location as they will absorb the harmful components of the petroleum." Pond microorganisms are added to a eutrophic lake to restore oxygen levels in the water. Pond microorganisms are added to a eutrophic lake to remove excess Nitrogen from the water.
