Description
Summary:The remediation of emerging contaminants presents a pressing environmental challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for effective mitigation. This review article delves into the untapped potential of soil microbial communities in the bioremediation of emerging contaminants. Bioremediation, while a promising method, often proves time-consuming and requires a deep comprehension of microbial intricacies for enhancement. Given the challenges presented by the inability to culture many of these microorganisms, conventional methods are inadequate for achieving this goal. While omics-based methods provide an innovative approach to understanding the fundamental aspects, processes, and connections among microorganisms that are essential for improving bioremediation strategies. By exploring the latest advancements in omics technologies, this review aims to shed light on how these approaches can unlock the hidden capabilities of soil microbial communities, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable remediation solutions.
