“…Bioinformatic technology developed a new array of computational technologies that uses both information technology and biological sciences. This modern technology seeks information from multiple high-throughput biological techniques, and keeps all biological data, helping to investigate and decide the relationship among organic molecules, including macromolecular sequences, biochemical and metabolic pathways, protein expressions, metabolites, and structures (Fulekar and Geetha, 2008 ; Cooper et al, 2018 ; Dangi et al, 2018 ; Greene, 2018 ; Shekhar et al, 2020 ). Enormous amounts of data are generated from DNA, RNA, and protein sequences that need to be accurately executed; thus, bioinformatics has led to finding the best possible way to analyze such huge amounts of biological data via specific computational tools (Aora and Bar, 2014 ; Bhatt et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Microbial remediation of xenobiotic compounds is regarded as a superficial, proficient, economically feasible approach that uses a wide range of microorganisms to consume organic pollutants as carbon or nitrogen supplements to sustain their developmental activities (Chen et al, 2013 ; Mahmoud, 2016 ; Arora et al, 2018 ; Ortiz-Hernandez et al, 2018 ; Siles and Margesin, 2018 ; Zhan et al, 2018 ; Bhatt et al, 2020b ). Microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, and diverse microbial communities thrive in natural and extreme stress environments, including soil, water, the human gut, hydrothermal vents, acid mine runoff, and oil reservoirs (Cycoń and Piotrowska-Seget, 2016 ; Jalowiecki et al, 2016 ; Ding et al, 2017 ; Aguinga et al, 2018 ; Wang Y. F. et al, 2018 ; Zierer et al, 2018 ; Delegan et al, 2019 ; Arora, 2020 ; Shekhar et al, 2020 ). Microbial populations exhibit potential for the remediation of any contaminated environment because of their genetic diversity and functionality (Chen et al, 2015 ; Bastida et al, 2016 ; Bhatt and Barh, 2018 ; Dangi et al, 2018 ).…”

Global environmental contamination with a complex mixture of xenobiotics has become a major environmental issue worldwide. Many xenobiotic compounds severely impact the environment due to their high toxicity, prolonged persistence, and limited biodegradability. Microbial-assisted degradation of xenobiotic compounds is considered to be the most effective and beneficial approach. Microorganisms have remarkable catabolic potential, with genes, enzymes, and degradation pathways implicated in the process of biodegradation. A number of microbes, including Alcaligenes, Cellulosimicrobium, Microbacterium, Micrococcus, Methanospirillum, Aeromonas, Sphingobium, Flavobacterium, Rhodococcus, Aspergillus, Penecillium, Trichoderma, Streptomyces, Rhodotorula, Candida, and Aureobasidium, have been isolated and characterized, and have shown exceptional biodegradation potential for a variety of xenobiotic contaminants from soil/water environments. Microorganisms potentially utilize xenobiotic contaminants as carbon or nitrogen sources to sustain their growth and metabolic activities. Diverse microbial populations survive in harsh contaminated environments, exhibiting a significant biodegradation potential to degrade and transform pollutants. However, the study of such microbial populations requires a more advanced and multifaceted approach. Currently, multiple advanced approaches, including metagenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, are successfully employed for the characterization of pollutant-degrading microorganisms, their metabolic machinery, novel proteins, and catabolic genes involved in the degradation process. These technologies are highly sophisticated, and efficient for obtaining information about the genetic diversity and community structures of microorganisms. Advanced molecular technologies used for the characterization of complex microbial communities give an in-depth understanding of their structural and functional aspects, and help to resolve issues related to the biodegradation potential of microorganisms. This review article discusses the biodegradation potential of microorganisms and provides insights into recent advances and omics approaches employed for the specific characterization of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms from contaminated environments.

“…Bioinformatics fostered a modern set of computational tools that combines information technology (IT) with biology. This cuttingedge technology collects data from a variety of high-throughput biological systems and stores it all, allowing researchers to explore and regulate the association between organic molecules such as biochemical and metabolic conduits, expression of proteins, structures, metabolites, and macromolecular sequences structures (Shekhar et al 2020). Protein, DNA, and RNA sequences provide enormous volumes of information that must be carefully carried out; as a result, bioinformatics has resulted in the creation of specialized computing tools to assess such enormous amounts of biological data (Bhatt et al 2021).…”

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.
