Abstract
Disclosed are bioremediation substrates that include animal-based proteins and animal-based lipids that can function as electron donors in microbial respiration. The bioremediation substrates have been developed from animal by-products, such as rendered animal co-products. The bioremediation substrates can be utilized in restoration of subsurface environments, such as soil, sediment, and water, that have been impacted by one or more environmental contaminants, such as chlorinated solvents and metals such as chromium.
