Alternative Strategies for Microbial Remediation of Pollutants via Synthetic Biology
Open accessAbstract
Continuous contamination of the environment with xenobiotics and related recalcitrant compounds has emerged as a serious pollution threat. Bioremediation is the key to eliminating persistent contaminants from the environment. Traditional bioremediation processes show limitations, therefore it is necessary to discover new bioremediation technologies for better results. In this review we provide an outlook of alternative strategies for bioremediation via synthetic biology, including exploring the prerequisites for analysis of research data for developing synthetic biological models of microbial bioremediation. Moreover, cell coordination in synthetic microbial community, cell signaling, and quorum sensing as engineered for enhanced bioremediation strategies are described, along with promising gene editing tools for obtaining the host with target gene sequences responsible for the degradation of recalcitrant compounds. The synthetic genetic circuit and two-component regulatory system (TCRS)-based microbial biosensors for detection and bioremediation are also briefly explained. These developments are expected to increase the efficiency of bioremediation strategies for best results.

The transfer of engineered metabolic pathways could alter nutrient cycles or create unintended selective pressures within microbial communities.
“For example, the transfer of engineered metabolic pathways could alter nutrient cycles or create unintended selective pressures within microbial communities [166,172].”

The Ecological Safety and Risk Assessment section (page unavailable) warns that engineered genes may be unintentionally transferred to other microorganisms and that competition between natural and genetically modified species can create selection pressure on non-target microflora. It does not say that transferred metabolic pathways cause that pressure, or that they alter nutrient cycles. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSynthetic genes introduced into engineered microbes may transfer to native microorganisms, potentially resulting in the spread of novel traits with unforeseen ecological consequences.

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.
