摘要

Soil pollution is non-biodegradable and can significantly affect ecosystems and related services; as a result, it is a serious concern in the developing world. Rapid industrialization and the generation of toxic waste from mining, industry, and building pose a threat to the environment. To remove pollutants from soil, many conventional physicochemical approaches are utilized, such as chemical reduction, immobilization, stabilization, and electro-remediation. However, these processes are expensive and environmentally unfriendly due to their high energy requirements, skilled labour, and dangerous chemicals. The term "bioremediation" refers to the process of cleaning up contaminated soils using plant-based, microorganism-based, microorganism-plant-associated, and other cutting-edge methodologies. Microbes are essential to soil remediation because they provide a long-term, ecologically friendly technique of removing contaminated areas. Bioaugmentation, biostimulation, and nanobioremediation are three recent innovations that boost microbial activity and efficacy in pollution degradation. Microbes like Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Aspergillus species have been shown to 98% bioremediation capacity, both on their own and in combination with plants like Trifolium repens, Helianthus annuus. The present paper evaluates and critically analyses fungi and bacteria's potential to bio-remediate both alone and in combination with plants. Future possibilities for more effective and focused cleanup include utilising microbial fuel cells, microbial consortia, and incorporating nanotechnology. Essentially, using microorganisms to their full potential is a prerequisite for the future of soil remediation. Through the integration of nanotechnology, designing microbial strains, and expanding our knowledge of microbial ecology, we may create more economical, sustainable, and efficient methods of cleaning up contaminated soils and safeguarding the environment.
