Bioremediation is one of the most imminent technological approaches to meet hazardous waste problems, which transforms toxic chemicals into less toxic or nontoxic substances using bacteria or fungi. Instead of direct chemical or physical treatment, such biological transformation is more striking where microorganisms are used as efficient, cost-effective and non-disruptive tools for eliminating hazardous materials. Major destructive impacts of pollutants are perinatal, respiratory, cardiovascular and mental disorders, mortality, allergy, cancer etc. Remarkable results leading to destruction of contaminants can be obtained using genetically concocted microbes that produce many modified enzymes through ecological new technology. Microorganisms utilize metabolic degradation pathways in situ to degrade the foreign undesirable matter directly instead of simply relocating them to another medium to minimize interference of the restoration place. It is certain that for remediation of polluted sites, bioremediation will play a key role in paving the way to greener pastures. The aim of this review article is to provide appropriate information regarding research findings on bioremediation, its types and techniques of eliminating pollutants by microbial consortia. This will facilitate to understand the strategic role of bioremediation at different levels and to apply latest research and knowledge to remove toxicity and to develop strategies to manage the waste generatedin industries, which is a global alarm. Until now, not many microbial enzymes have been exploited and huge microbial diversity is yet to be explored.

Se realizó una encuesta para conocer la percepción y el grado de información de un grupo de personas sensibilizadas con la problemática del océano al inscribirse voluntariamente a un encuentro académico gratuito, en formato híbrido, sobre el cuidado del océano para el Día Mundial del Océano 2022. Participaron 223 personas. Las respuestas mostraron en general buen grado de información por parte de los encuestados, con algunas sutiles diferencias entre personas más cercanas a la costa y aquellas más alejadas, como porcentajes de áreas marinas protegidas. Respecto a propuestas de acción para revitalizar el océano (motivo del Día Mundial del Océano 2022) en una nube de palabras predominó el tema de educación ambiental seguido de la problemática de contaminación.

“…In recent years, the use of free enzymes has gained considerable attention among the various proposed methods for removing phenolic compounds [72][73][74][75]. Enzymatic treatment offers a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional physicochemical treatment methods, such as adsorption, coagulation, and advanced oxidation processes [76,77]. Free enzymes are biodegradable, highly efficient, and selective biological catalysts that can operate under mild conditions, thus reducing energy consumption and minimizing the generation of harmful byproducts [78,79].…”

Addressing the critical issue of water pollution, this review article emphasizes the need to remove hazardous dyes and phenolic compounds from wastewater. These pollutants pose severe risks due to their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties. The study explores various techniques for the remediation of organic contaminants from wastewater, including an enzymatic approach. A significant challenge in enzymatic wastewater treatment is the loss of enzyme activity and difficulty in recovery post-treatment. To mitigate these issues, this review examines the strategy of immobilizing enzymes on newly developed nanostructured materials like graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). These materials offer high surface areas, excellent porosity, and ample anchoring sites for effective enzyme immobilization. The review evaluates recent research on enzyme immobilization on these supports and their applications in biocatalytic nanoparticles. It also analyzes the impact of operational factors (e.g., time, pH, and temperature) on dye and phenolic compound removal from wastewater using these enzymes. Despite promising outcomes, this review acknowledges the challenges for large-scale implementation and offers recommendations for future research to tackle these obstacles. This review concludes by suggesting that enzyme immobilization on these emerging materials could present a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution to the escalating water pollution crisis.
