<br>So far so good.  A lot of sentences don't have enough space between the period and first word of the new sentence so you may want to go back through and check that out. Also, in your "It is in the genes" section, Where you begin talking about the chromosomes and genes the wording gets a little confusing and hard to understand.  There is a lot of interesting information in this section; you might want to tie it in more directly with your topic and give a brief statement about how each of its particular characteristics allow it to act in bioremediation. For example, you mentioned that it contains a plasmid: what genes are encoded within the plasmid?  And how might these specific genes be useful? Why are they in the plasmid and not contained in the main chromosome? Also, in your introduction, it would be useful if you had a subheading specifically about bioremediation and what it is. I liked the sectioning off and detailing of the major functions of the bacteria (Hydrogen prod., nanoparticle synthesis, etc.) It might help with the organization to place them into a larger subheading though. I can show you how to make heading and subheadings if you're interested--its really easy!  Really interesting information and interesting topic!
