Application of molecular imprinting for targeted removal of organic contaminants and resistance genes from water: A review

Can bacteria and carbon-based nanomaterials revolutionize nanoremediation strategies for industrial effluents?

“…One fascinating aspect of this research involves the development of bacteria that can break down polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and process bisphenol A (BPA), a harmful organic pollutant that disrupts the endocrine system. These genetic engineering advancements showcase the immense potential for improving bioremediation techniques, providing a more efficient and environmentally conscious method for treating industrial effluent (Aryal, 2024;Wang et al, 2024a;Wang et al, 2024b;Nandy and Kapley, 2024;Venkatraman et al, 2024;Venkatraman et al, 2024). One of the fascinating aspects of this research is the exploration of previously unknown metabolic pathways and the identification of key genes involved in the breakdown of challenging pollutants.…”

“…Different genetically distinct bacteria are involved in the bioremediation of industrial pollutants as in Table 1. The examples provided cover a wide range of applications, showcasing the effectiveness and precision of different bacterial species and their genetic mechanisms in tackling pollutants from different industrial sectors (Chauhan et al, 2023;Dey et al, 2024a;Wang et al, 2024b).…”
