“…In the past, the strategies employed relied on sediment removal and treatment, but these approaches had several disadvantages, such as limited space capacity and high cost, and their application can sometimes be impractical. Thanks to the latest advances in marine biotechnology, in situ bioremediation strategies have proven their efficacy for the removal of pollutants, particularly of hydrocarbons (Skinder et al, 2020).…”

The Ocean Decade (OD) is the name of a United Nations (UN) initiative devoted to ocean science for sustainable development. It started in 2021 and will provide an opportunity to create a new foundation, across the science-policy interface, to strengthen the sustainable management of oceans and coasts and, at same time, bring benefits for future generations. The OD will establish a common strategy to achieve the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the other European Union (EU) and international agreements, such as the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), the Marine Biodiversity Strategy and the UN World Assessment I and II aimed at preserving ocean health. Furthermore, the OD has several expected outcomes that concern different aspects of marine environment, including its enormous values for humans. Several entities will combine efforts to achieve these goals and science is at the forefront of the sustainable blue economy. Marine research is solving complex challenges through interdisciplinary approaches, revolutionizing our life and our interaction with the ocean. This review discusses recent advancements in science related to the OD outcomes. The role of new technology for ocean exploration and monitoring, the importance of omics science and biotechnology to deal with ocean pollution, and other innovative solutions are discussed. All of these are inspired by the idea of using marine resources in a sustainable way and without impacting in a negative way on marine ecosystems. The role of science communication is therefore considered a crucial issue to spread the OD messages and to reach the general public and stakeholders. Only by the integration of science, governance, industry and public, the OD will have any chance to succeed.

“…A biosensor designed for recognition and bioremediation should have increased microbe-contaminant interaction (Dhar et al 2019). This allows bacteria to modify their biological processes in reaction to external environmental circumstances and codes the genes needed to use resistive substances as a substrate (Skinder et al 2020). Since genetic circuits can be built in contrast to an exogenous environmental toxin, the strategies of synthetic biology are conceivable for detoxifying a specific harmful chemical.…”

The term "hydrocarbon" is self-explanatory and refers to solely carbon and hydrogen compounds. Hydrocarbons play an important role in our everyday lives. Hydrocarbons, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, harm biota. The relatively fast introduction of xenobiotic compounds, as well as the enormous movement of natural materials to various environmental compartments, can often overwhelm the self-cleaning capabilities of the recipient ecosystem, resulting in pollution and accumulation of hazardous or even lethal levels. Bacteria capable of hydrocarbon degradation are frequently used in the bioremediation of fuel oil-contaminated sites. Presently, multiple sophisticated methodologies, transcriptomics, proteomics and are effectively utilized for the depiction of hydrocarbons degrading microorganisms. These expertises are highly developed, and its integration with bioinformatics tools makes it even more efficient. Though health science and biological science are the major relevant areas for molecular docking, it has been effectively used to explore the process of bio-degradation in ecological remediation in recent years. This review focuses on the sources, fate of PAHs, human exposure, various computational aspects associated with PAHs, and some approaches of synthetic biology related to pollutant degradation and PAH‑degradation by genetically engineered microorganisms.

“…A biosensor aiming for detection and bioremediation purposes must have enhanced contact between microbe and contaminant (Dhar et al, 2019). This helps the bacterium to adjust their cellular pathways in response to external environmental conditions and encodes the genes for utilizing the recalcitrant compounds as substrate (Bilal and Iqbal, 2019;Skinder et al, 2020). Synthetic biology strategies are feasible for removing a particular toxic compound because the genetic circuits can be developed against the exogenous environmental toxin (Checa et al, 2012;Tay et al, 2017).…”

Continuous contamination of the environment with xenobiotics and related recalcitrant compounds has emerged as a serious pollution threat. Bioremediation is the key to eliminating persistent contaminants from the environment. Traditional bioremediation processes show limitations, therefore it is necessary to discover new bioremediation technologies for better results. In this review we provide an outlook of alternative strategies for bioremediation via synthetic biology, including exploring the prerequisites for analysis of research data for developing synthetic biological models of microbial bioremediation. Moreover, cell coordination in synthetic microbial community, cell signaling, and quorum sensing as engineered for enhanced bioremediation strategies are described, along with promising gene editing tools for obtaining the host with target gene sequences responsible for the degradation of recalcitrant compounds. The synthetic genetic circuit and two-component regulatory system (TCRS)-based microbial biosensors for detection and bioremediation are also briefly explained. These developments are expected to increase the efficiency of bioremediation strategies for best results.
