A RESEARCH ON MICROBIAL DEGRADATION OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTANTS FROM DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract: Microbial degradation is nature's primary scavenger, responsible for recycling most natural waste materials into harmless compounds. Given an increase in particular synthetic compounds such as various chlorinated compounds produced by the chemical industry for use as herbicides, pesticides, industrial solvents, and coolants. The microorganisms try to develop new genes, especially for simple, low-chlorinated compounds that code for enzymes that use the chlorinated compounds as the main component. An understanding of how new biodegradable genes evolve in nature is therefore of paramount importance to improve the rate and scale of biodegradable processes. The various parameters affecting both natural and selective evolutionary processes are discussed. Microorganisms and plants have been extensively studied for their role in the biotransformation of such hazardous pollutants into non-toxic chemicals, with a wide range of biotechnological implications. The bioremediation of metal-contaminated sites is understood as the molecular mechanics of metal accumulation. Contamination of water and food with various types of chemicals and metals such as nickel, copper, gold, lead, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, chromium, and mercury has been widely reported. Human activities such as metal smelting and mining, and the disposal of agricultural and industrial effluents release these metals, which can be harmful to human health when ingested in amounts that an organism cannot handle. Bioremediation is another form of waste management those other organisms can use and reuse as a result of the biological waste recycling mechanism. Various chemical wastes and hazardous materials from around the world are heavily involved in degradation, immobilization, eradication, and detoxification through the all-encompassing actions of microorganisms. Various applications of microorganisms in the bioremediation of hazardous pollutants were presented in detail in this chapter. Keywords: Microorganism, Chlorinated, Pesticides, Herbicides, Industrial solvents.
