Abstract:
Bioremediation is the biological process by which microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons as a source of carbon. Environmental pollution has skyrocketed over the past few years due to harmful human activities. Chemical treatment on pollutants has only a limited effect, and hence bacteria and fungi are employed to efficiently degrade substrates like heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons and plastics. There are various factors such as temperature and pH of the environment, availability of nutrients, water and oxygen. Bioremediation of pollutants can be carried out either at the site of pollution (in-situ) or by transporting them to treatment plants (exsitu). Bacteria possess a number of biological pathways and enzymes which are specific to persistent pollutants. Advanced studies in biotechnology have helped in enhancing these processes. However, every scientific technique has its own pros and cons, and so does the process of bioremediation.
