The various industrial sectors, as well as livestock and agricultural activities, are increasing the production of inputs to meet the demand of the worldwide demographic explosion, making a challenge the clean maintenance of water, soil, and air. Therefore, the search for solutions for a pollutant-free environment without compromising economic development has become extremely important. Thereby, biotechnological studies in order to solve environmental issues have been gaining extensive attention through the coupling of technology procedures to biological systems as sustainable solutions to remediate contaminated areas. In this sense, this review covers topics such as the role of Omics era in microbial environmental biotechnology for pollution control as well as the microbial fuel cell use in energy production. Moreover, phytoremediation and the perspective of applying chemical methods are approached as environmentally friendly tools for the pollutant control to improve remediation processes.

“…The soak liquor contains bioorganic compounds (majorly proteins, lipids, and glycosaminoglycans) besides chlorides in the range 40000-80000 mg/L. Hence, the soak liquor discharged onto soil without appropriate treatment influences the water potability, aquatic life and plant life [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Hence, it has become mandatory to treat soak wastewater for the removal of organic matter and salt from it.…”

The present investigation offers the scope for the elimination of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the amino sugars, present in tannery saline wastewater (also known as soak liquor) generated during the soaking of raw materials for the removal of common salt. The extracted salt tolerant amylase from Providencia Rettgerri sp., had very high amylase activity, 1320 U/ml. The modified NPAC(m-NPAC) was effectively produced by covalent incorporation method using ethylenediamine/glutaraldehyde for the immobilisation of amylase. The salt tolerant amylase immobilised nanoporous activated carbon (Am-NPAC) was used for the elimination of GAGs from soak liquor having chlorides of 4-5% (w/v). Various factors such as time, 120 min; pH, 6; temperature, 30°C; amylase concentration, 250 Units/g of m-NPAC and salinity, 3-5% of the medium that favour the maximum immobilisation of amylase onto m-NPAC were optimized. The instrumental techniques such as FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA-DSC, SEM and XRD analyses have confirmed the immobilisation of amylase. The optimum conditions such as time, 1 h; pH, 6; and temperature, 40°C for the elimination of GAGs from soak liquor were investigated. The amylase immobilised nanoporous carbon matrix (Am-NPAC) was very effective for the cleavage of GAGs into glucuronic acid and glucosamine bio-molecules. The removal of GAGs was confirmed through FT-IR, UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies.
