Bioremediation stands as a promising solution amid the escalating challenges posed by environmental pollution. Over the past 25 years, the influx of synthetic chemicals and hazardous contaminants into ecosystems has required innovative approaches for mitigation and restoration. The resilience of these compounds stems from their non-natural existence, distressing both human and environmental health. Microbes take center stage in this scenario, demonstrating their ability of biodegradation to catalyze environmental remediation. Currently, the scientific community supports a straight connection between biorefinery and bioremediation concepts to encourage circular bio/economy practices. This review aimed to give a pre-overview of the state of the art regarding the main microorganisms employed in bioremediation processes and the different bioremediation approaches applied. Moreover, focus has been given to the implementation of bioremediation as a novel approach to agro-industrial waste management, highlighting how it is possible to reduce environmental pollution while still obtaining value-added products with commercial value, meeting the goals of a circular bioeconomy. The main drawbacks and challenges regarding the feasibility of bioremediation were also reported.
在环境污染带来的挑战不断升级的背景下，生物修复是一个很有前景的解决方案。在过去25年里，合成化学品和有害污染物大量涌入生态系统，这就需要创新的缓解和恢复方法。这些化合物的顽固性源于它们非自然的存在形式，对人类健康和环境健康都造成了困扰。在这种情况下，微生物成为核心，展现出它们通过生物降解来催化环境修复的能力。目前，科学界支持生物炼制和生物修复概念之间的直接联系，以鼓励循环生物/经济实践。这篇综述旨在对生物修复过程中使用的主要微生物以及应用的不同生物修复方法的现有技术状况进行初步概述。此外，重点介绍了将生物修复作为农业工业废物管理新方法的实施情况，强调了如何在减少环境污染的同时，仍然获得具有商业价值的增值产品，实现循环生物经济的目标。还报告了生物修复可行性方面的主要缺点和挑战。
