Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current state of research activities on the application of biodegradation/bioremediation for removing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as pesticides, PCBs, PAHs and PPCPs from wastewater. Several potential enzymes have been reported from various microorganisms, which breakdown the complex compounds through biodegradation, biostimulation or bioaugmentation process. Various microorganisms, harbouring numerous plasmids and catabolic genes, acclimatize to these environmentally unfavourable conditions by gene duplication, mutational drift, hypermutation, and recombination. Genetic aspects of some major POP catabolic genes such as biphenyl dioxygenase (bph), hydroxylation, phosphotriesterases and oxygenase etc. assist in degradation organic pollutants. However with the advent of technological advancements in genetic engineering is being considered the possibility for the role of genetically modified organisms, metagenomics and metabolomics is being considered to develop low cost, effective and reliable method for detection, determination and removal of ultra-trace concentration of POPs. In addition, development in microbial fuel cell, nano-materials, biofilms and constructed wetlands augments the biodegradation process. Therefore, this review highlights the effect of POPs on the environment, health hazards, microbial degradation and its mechanism along with brief study of advanced oxidation process for wastewater treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
