Novel Approach on Bioremediation by Actinobacteria: A Review

Abstract

A significant environmental problem that has created serious difficulties for the agricultural ecology is toxic pollution. Among the most harmful environmental pollutants are heavy metals and insecticides. Bioremediation techniques include Bio-augmentation, Bio-injection and Phytoremediation. It eliminates and catabolizes environmental contaminants using natural or artificial plants and soil bacteria. Actinobacteria perform numerous essential ecological tasks in nature, including the breakdown and recycling of complex polymers and the production of bioactive compounds. As a result, biotechnologists are interested by the idea of using actinobacteria to remove pollution. This can be done using the green method of Bioremediation, in which certain microorganisms are introduced into contaminated areas to increase their degradative ability. Thus, Actinobacteria make excellent bioremediation candidates, which is important as more contaminants are released into the environment. This article discusses ways to mitigate the effects of heavy metals and pesticides on agricultural ecosystems by using actinobacteria as a Bioremediation agent.
