Nowadays, pollution of the environment is a huge problem for humans and other organisms' health. Conventional methods of pollutant removal like membrane filtration or ion exchange are not efficient enough to lower the number of pollutants to standard levels. Biological methods, because of their higher efficiency and biocompatibility, are preferred for the remediation of pollutants. These cost-effective and environment-friendly methods of reducing pollutants are called bioremediation. In bioremediation methods, enzymes play the most crucial role. Enzymes can remedy different types of organic and inorganic pollutants, including PAHs, azo dyes, polymers, organocyanides, lead, chromium, and mercury. Different enzymes isolated from various species have been used for the bioremediation of pollutants. Discovering new enzymes and new subtypes with specific physicochemical characteristics would be a promising way to find more efficient and cost-effective tools for the remediation of pollutants.
如今，环境污染对人类和其他生物的健康而言是一个巨大的问题。诸如膜过滤或离子交换等传统的污染物去除方法，在将污染物数量降低到标准水平方面效率不够高。由于生物方法具有更高的效率和生物相容性，因此在污染物修复方面更受青睐。这些具有成本效益且环境友好的减少污染物的方法被称为生物修复。在生物修复方法中，酶起着最为关键的作用。酶可以修复不同类型的有机和无机污染物，包括多环芳烃、偶氮染料、聚合物、有机氰化物、铅、铬和汞。从不同物种中分离出的不同酶已被用于污染物的生物修复。发现具有特定物理化学特性的新酶和新亚型将是找到更高效且具成本效益的污染物修复工具的一条有前景的途径。
