Abstract

Industrialization led to the release of synthetic and toxic compounds. Partial or improper treatment increases environmental pollution. Conventional methods possess more disadvantages, such as increased duration of degradation and release of secondary pollutants. The drawbacks paved the way for the significant bioremediation perspective. The ubiquitous nature of microbes enables it to utilize toxic compounds, which attracted the focus of treatment towards the biological and eco-friendly methods. The recent decade has shown interest in the application of indigenous microbes in the polluted environment. Apart from the microbial application, phytoremediation is an emerging tool for treating soil contaminated with hazardous pollutants. Technological advancement in biotechnology ensures a safe and healthy environment for a better future.
