“…[5], climate change to which no one is immune, nor can the world vaccinate itself against it is ongoing and catastrophic: the "failure of climate action" is the most impactful (GUNJAL, et al [6]), and second most likely long-term risk identified in the Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS). Billions of people around the world are at greater risk of missing future economic opportunities, and the benefits of a resilient global community.…”

The hydrological water cycle comprises constant water movements, which have great influence on the maintenance of vital natural activities. Groundwater in particular constitutes a portion of aquifers, which are considered mobile reservoirs used mainly as a source of supply and human consumption. However, external influences have become largely responsible for the unbalance of the ecosystem, linked to the unbridled human consumption of finite natural resources and the consequent discharge of waste into the receiving bodies without the necessary treatment. The geological water cycle is interrupted when forests are cut down, springs and rivers are extinguished, and together with this, finally, the lack of basic sanitation alters the ecosystem, causing changes of great relevance to the world's population. Groundwater has suffered relevant impacts due to the loss of biodiversity of ecosystems, such as contamination, overuse, lack of current regulatory legislation for use, and the improvement of decontamination techniques. The analysis of the following activities is necessary, mainly due to the anthropic punctual impacts to the ecosystem, corroborating the need for satisfactory techniques. It is noticeable the need for extreme attention to the waste runoff via sanitary sewage to places that have treatment, but the same is not very efficient in retaining this liability, since some developing countries that have not reached about 90% treatment of sanitary sewage, demonstrating the lack of such activities. Thus, the objective of this study is to verify, by means of exploratory and bibliographic research in research bases, the measures that protect the water. Technological measures and sustainable management tools for this purpose will be reviewed, as well as the evolution of groundwater treatment techniques.

“…To overcome the drawbacks of second generation sequencing, and due to the techonological advancement in the sequencing field, third generation sequeincing or single molecule sequinging technology, was developed. The third generation technology can give subtantially longer reads (over 10,000bp) ( Cao et al , 2017 ; Gunjal et al , 2023 ) and unlike second generation sequencing which relies on library construction, it can perform sequencing direclty on original DNA/RNA samples reading upto 10 nucleic acids per second thus significantly reducing the sequencing time ( Vasudeva et al , 2023 ). The third gen sequeincing can also be used for real time data accusation due to its capability of generating ultralong read lengths wich can be used to generate full length mRNA sequences ( Metzker, 2010 ).…”

“…Molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing, and stable isotope probing are used to i d e n t i f y a n d t r a c k p h e n o l -d e g r a d i n g microorganisms in the environment (Figure 5). Techniques such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics are also used to study the functional potential of microbial communities and identify essential genes involved in phenol degradation (Gunjal et al, 2023). Characterizing phenol-degrading microorganisms can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bioremediation strategies by providing a better understanding of the microorganisms that are most effective at degrading phenol, as well as their growth requirements and optimal conditions.…”

Phenol is a toxic and recalcitrant contaminant widely used in various industries, including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries. Bacterial degradation of phenol is a promising method for treating phenol-contaminated wastewater. The biodegradation of phenol by bacteria can effectively remove it from the environment, making it a valuable alternative to traditional chemical treatment methods. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the bacterial biodegradation of phenol, including those in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical sectors, the metabolic pathways involved in phenol degradation, and the factors that influence the efficiency of phenol biodegradation. This paper also discusses the challenges and limitations of using bacteria for the biodegradation of phenol, including the need for further research to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the process. The outcome of this review demonstrates that bacterial biodegradation is a promising and effective method for treating phenol-contaminated wastewater and provides a foundation for future research to improve the efficiency and continuous use of this process.
