Answer
The overall abundance of microbes within a given sample is often used as an indicator of the potential for bioremediation to occur. The following are benchmarks that can be used to understand whether the biomass levels are low, moderate or high.
Low: 10e3 to 10e4 cells/mL
Moderate: 10e5 to 10e6 cells/mL
High: 10e7 to 10e8 cells/mL
