Microbial applications in environmental remediation hold great promise for addressing pollution and restoring ecosystems. Specific bacteria and fungi can degrade organic pollutants, immobilize heavy metals, and detoxify contaminated soils and waters. Genetic engineering and synthetic biology enhance microbial capabilities, enabling targeted bioremediation tailored to diverse environments. Microbes also facilitate nutrient cycling, supporting ecosystem recovery. Challenges include controlling microbial activity in complex field conditions and preventing unintended ecological impacts. Integrating microbial solutions with physical and chemical remediation methods improves overall effectiveness. Future advances in microbiome research and bioinformatics will expand the potential of microbes as sustainable and cost-effective environmental cleaners.
