A Review on Bioremediation of Polluted Environments and Uses of Bacteria to Detoxify and Destroy Environmental Toxins

Purva Saxena

Abstract


Environmental biotechnology's fast evolving and developing field of bioremediation uses microbes to clean up polluted areas. Although bioremediation is a promising method for improving environmental conditions, our limited knowledge of how biological factors contribute to its effects and its effects on the ecosystem has made it difficult to develop the technology and make it safer and more dependable. These cutting-edge molecular microbiological approaches will offer fresh perspectives on bioremediation in terms of process validation, process optimization, and ecosystem effect, all of which are crucial pieces of information for ensuring the technology's dependability and safety. The most cutting-edge method for removing hazardous toxins is called bioremediation, and it is ecologically sound. any method for restoring the natural environment damaged by toxins to its original state using microbes, fungus, green plants, or their enzymes. Bioventing, Landfarming, Bioreactor, Compositing, Bioaugmentation, Rhizofiltration, and Bio-stimulation are a few examples of bioremediation technology.
