Abstract EN
A large number of enzymes from bacteria, fungi, and plants have been reported to be involved in the biodegradation of toxic organic pollutants.
Bioremediation is a cost effective and nature friendly biotechnology that is powered by microbial enzymes.
The research activity in this area would contribute towards developing advanced bioprocess technology to reduce the toxicity of the pollutants and also to obtain novel useful substances.
The information on the mechanisms of bioremediation-related enzymes such as oxido-reductases and hydrolases have been extensively studied.
This review attempts to provide descriptive information on the enzymes from various microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of wide range of pollutants, applications, and suggestions required to overcome the limitations of their efficient use.
