The large-scale application of organic pollutants (OPs) has contaminated the air, soil, and water. Persistent OPs enter the food supply chain and create several hazardous effects on living systems. Thus, there is a need to manage the environmental levels of these toxicants. Microbial glycoconjugates pave the way for the enhanced degradation of these toxic pollutants from the environment. Microbial glycoconjugates increase the bioavailability of these OPs by reducing surface tension and creating a solvent interface. To date, very little emphasis has been given to the scope of glycoconjugates in the biodegradation of OPs. Glycoconjugates create a bridge between microbes and OPs, which helps to accelerate degradation through microbial metabolism. This review provides an in-depth overview of glycoconjugates, their role in biofilm formation, and their applications in the bioremediation of OP-contaminated environments.
大规模的有机污染物（OPs）的应用已经污染了空气、土壤和水。持久性 OPs 进入食物链，并对生命系统造成多种危害。因此，有必要管理这些有毒物质的环境水平。微生物糖缀合物为增强这些有毒污染物在环境中的降解铺平了道路。微生物糖缀合物通过降低表面张力和形成溶剂界面来提高这些 OPs 的生物利用度。迄今为止，人们对糖缀合物在 OPs 生物降解中的范围几乎没有给予太多关注。糖缀合物在微生物和 OPs 之间架起了桥梁，有助于通过微生物代谢加速降解。本综述深入概述了糖缀合物、它们在生物膜形成中的作用以及它们在 OPs 污染环境的生物修复中的应用。
