Microbial bioremediation strategies with wastewater treatment potentialities - A review.

The demand for innovative waste treatment techniques has arisen because of the establishment and operation of rigorous waste discharge guidelines into the environment. Due to the rapid increase in the human population, wastewater treatment is a procedure of increasing significance. As a result, wastewater treatment systems are intended to sustain high activities and densities of such microorganisms which meet the different purification requirements. The waste produced by the pharmaceutical industry, if not adequately treated, has harmful repercussions for the environment as well as public health. Bioremediation is an innovative and optimistic technology that can be used to remove and reduce heavy metals from polluted water and contaminated soil. Because of cost-effectiveness and environmental compatibility, bioremediation using microorganisms has an excellent potential for future development. A diverse range of microorganisms, including algae, fungi, yeasts, and bacteria, can function as biologically active methylators, capable of modifying toxic species. Microorganisms play a crucial role in heavy metal bioremediation. Nanotechnology may minimize industry expenses by producing environmentally friendly nanomaterials to alleviate these contaminants. The use of microorganisms in nanoparticle synthesis gives green biotechnology a positive impetus to cost reduction and sustainable production as a developing nanotechnology sector.
