Abstract

Bioremediation is an innovative and most promising technology arising in today’s world to decrease the pollutants with the help of microbes which neutralizes the harmful pollutants from contaminated sites. The environment comprises of complex variables which includes air, water, and land. The positive correlation made by the environment is responsible for the existence of humans along with other living creatures as plants, animals, and microbes. The technological advancement in industrial societies has led to severe environmental pollution of air, soil, and water, which make the indispensable part of human life. The increasing population, urbanization and rapid industrialization in the current world becoming challenging to the groundwater resources management in developing countries. Therefore, these factors have ended up in generation of huge amounts of solid waste in various toxic forms which ultimately pollute the entire ecosystem. Bioremediation is an innovative and promising technology in which organisms or microbes are used to remove or neutralize harmful pollutants from contaminated sites including water and soil. It requires a technique to select organisms capable of uptake or release some enzymes which can degrade these pollutants. Using biological materials, it is more effective than the traditional strategies because bioremediation strategies can be used directly at the site of contaminant without the need to transfer contaminant materials. In the bioremediation process, bacteria alone, consortia, or combination of bacteria and algae, Fungi etc. can be used for effective biodegradation
