摘要

Anthropogenic activities and the growing human population are directly causing environmental degradation by allowing a considerable quantity of heavy metals (HMs) to enter the food chain. Even in very low quantities, these metals are very hazardous and can accumulate in food systems. Due to their inability to break down, heavy metals have a tendency to stay in a location for long periods of time. Increasing the capacity of crops and microorganisms for bioaccumulation and biotransformation for the detoxification of hazardous metals is the approach for boosting and enhancing the effectiveness of remediation techniques. Microorganisms serve a function for numerous biological processes that keep habitats intact. Degradation, also known as detoxification, renders ecologically sustainable Microorganisms that can utilize carbon-containing materials include fungi, bacterium, and actinomycetes. Microorganisms are an appropriate fit for the environmental remediation method because of this property. Microbial remediation methods are examples of biological methods used to clean the natural environment. The biotransformation technique is based on restoring contaminated sites and safeguarding the environment using naturally existing or genetically modified microbes. In addition to microbes, some plant species with high concentrations of heavy metals may also be useful for environmental restoration. The use of microbial strains with the capacity for self-repair, continuing metallic substances’ chemical absorption following somatic binding, possibility used for optimization over the emergence of resilient class is essential to the success of microbial biotransformation technology
