The Role of Bioremediation in Achieving Environmental Sustainability
Summary
This review discusses the role of bioremediation in environmental sustainability, examining how biological agents including bacteria, fungi, and plants can be used to address soil and water contamination from heavy metals, microplastics, and other persistent pollutants.
Research on biological solutions for sustainable environmental health has grown significantly over the years, highlighting the urgent need for innovative and effective remediation strategies.Bioremediation, an ecologically significant practice, uses biological agents to address despoiled habitats by harnessing the metabolic potential of microorganisms or cells to degrade, remove, or dispose of contaminants from soil, water, or air.Bioremediation pathways are part of general life processes, like energy production, and do not result in the breaking down of one pollutant into a harmful substance.A broad spectrum of pollutants can be bioremediated through a specific selection of biological agents such as bacteria, microalgae, aquatic pulmonated, fungi, and plants.The ecological health of any ecosystem and human health are emphasized, as chemical spills into environmental components can influence sustainable management hydraulics and ecosystem results due to the intricate food chain.Bioremediation stands as a potential development and low-cost methodology for removing pollutants heavily from affected parts, and several cases of microorganisms and their enzymes and processes are used in the removal of industrially produced hazardous substances.The following sections are dedicated to a detailed understanding of microorganisms and exploration of the potential of biodegradation processes useful for the removal of environmental pollutants, as well as the reduction in human health hazards.Bioremediation stands as one of the potential developments and low-cost methodologies for removing pollutants heavily from the affected parts.Furthermore, several cases of microorganisms and their enzymes and processes involved are used in the removal of industrially produced hazardous substances.
