“…There are several revolutionary advanced molecular practices, including genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, which deliver deeper insights into microbial activities with respect to their genes, proteins, mRNA expression levels, enzymes and metabolic pathways with changing environments ( Figure 1 ). The integrated approach of these multiple technologies in the field of bioremediation is termed as the “omics approach,” used for the undeviating characterization of biological macromolecules, and their specific genetic and molecular structures and function mechanisms in a set of microorganisms/microbial communities (Desai et al, 2009 ; Yang, 2013 ; Godheja et al, 2014 ; Franzosa et al, 2015 ; Chandran et al, 2020 ). The application of omics technologies provides comprehensive insights into microbial populations, their mechanisms of interaction with pollutants, metabolic activities, and genetic-regulation and molecular-biology aspects (Akinsanya et al, 2015 ; Kaul et al, 2016 ; Misra et al, 2018 ; Marco and Abram, 2019 ; Huang et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The effectiveness of such NGS technologies in analyzing microbial communities from diverse environments was elucidated, validated, and documented in many studies (Brown et al, 2013 ; Shokralla et al, 2014 ; Zhou et al, 2015 ; Niu et al, 2016 ; Scholer et al, 2017 ). In addition, PacBio (Pacific Biosciences) and Oxford Nanopore are highly advanced, reliable, and accurate third-generation sequencing platforms applied to microbial community analysis (Lu et al, 2016 ; Chandran et al, 2020 ). Oxford Nanopore Technologies has launched a portable MinION USB nanopore that does not rely on DNA replication and has the advantage of reading full-length molecules in real time.…”

Global environmental contamination with a complex mixture of xenobiotics has become a major environmental issue worldwide. Many xenobiotic compounds severely impact the environment due to their high toxicity, prolonged persistence, and limited biodegradability. Microbial-assisted degradation of xenobiotic compounds is considered to be the most effective and beneficial approach. Microorganisms have remarkable catabolic potential, with genes, enzymes, and degradation pathways implicated in the process of biodegradation. A number of microbes, including Alcaligenes, Cellulosimicrobium, Microbacterium, Micrococcus, Methanospirillum, Aeromonas, Sphingobium, Flavobacterium, Rhodococcus, Aspergillus, Penecillium, Trichoderma, Streptomyces, Rhodotorula, Candida, and Aureobasidium, have been isolated and characterized, and have shown exceptional biodegradation potential for a variety of xenobiotic contaminants from soil/water environments. Microorganisms potentially utilize xenobiotic contaminants as carbon or nitrogen sources to sustain their growth and metabolic activities. Diverse microbial populations survive in harsh contaminated environments, exhibiting a significant biodegradation potential to degrade and transform pollutants. However, the study of such microbial populations requires a more advanced and multifaceted approach. Currently, multiple advanced approaches, including metagenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, are successfully employed for the characterization of pollutant-degrading microorganisms, their metabolic machinery, novel proteins, and catabolic genes involved in the degradation process. These technologies are highly sophisticated, and efficient for obtaining information about the genetic diversity and community structures of microorganisms. Advanced molecular technologies used for the characterization of complex microbial communities give an in-depth understanding of their structural and functional aspects, and help to resolve issues related to the biodegradation potential of microorganisms. This review article discusses the biodegradation potential of microorganisms and provides insights into recent advances and omics approaches employed for the specific characterization of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms from contaminated environments.

“…Essential oils are defined as volatile aromatic compounds that provide a distinctive flavor, aroma, or scent to a plant (Raut and Karuppayil, 2014;Meena et al, 2017a;Chandran et al, 2020a, Chandran et al, 2020b. They are hydrophobic, lipid-soluble liquid comprised of volatile and non-volatile fractions (Hussain et al, 2008).…”

“…Essential oils are the byproducts of plants' secondary metabolic processes. Essential oils can be synthesized by any of the plant organs such as leaves, buds, flowers stems, fruits, seeds, wood or bark and roots, and are stored in epidermis cells, secretory cells, glandular hairs and plant-cell wall in the form of small droplets (Prakash et al, 2015;Barupal et al, 2019;Mohammadhosseini et al, 2019b;Chandran et al, 2020a). Generally, Ferula species found in warm to temperate climates such as tropical and Mediterranean countries possess essential oils.…”

The genus Ferula is the third largest and a well-known genus of the Apiaceae family. It is categorized in the Peucedaneae tribe and Ferulinae subtribe of the Apiaceae family. At present, about 180 Ferula species have been reported. The genus is mainly distributed throughout central and South-West Asia (especially Iran and Afghanistan), the far-East, North India, and the Mediterranean. The genus Ferula is characterized by the presence of oleo-gum-resins (asafoetida, sagapenum, galbanum, and ammoniacum) and their use in natural and conventional pharmaceuticals. The main phytochemicals present in the genus Ferula are as follows: coumarin, coumarin esters, sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpene lactones, monoterpene, monoterpene coumarins, prenylated coumarins, sulfur-containing compounds, phytoestrogen, flavonoids and carbohydrates. This genus is considered to be a valuable group of medicinal plants due to its many different biological and pharmacological uses as volatile oils (essential oils). Numerous biological activities are shown by the chemical components of the essential oils obtained from different Ferula species. Because this genus includes many bioactivities such as antimicrobial, insecticidal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, etc., researchers are now focusing on this genus. Several reviews are already available on this particular genus, including information about the importance and the uses of all the phytochemicals found in the species of Ferula. Despite this, no review that specifically provides information about the biological activities of Ferula-derived essential oils, has been published yet. Therefore, the present review has been conducted to provide important information about the chemical profile, factors affecting the chemical composition, and biological activities of essential oils of the Ferula species.

Dyes are colored substances being used to color various types of fabrics and materials from ancient time. During their use in the coloring of various types of materials as well as during their synthesis; they come out in the environment as such or in the form of toxic by-products and by mixing in aqueous system generate various types of problems to organisms living in that aqueous environment as well as human beings using that polluted water in any way. Several techniques are being used in the present time to solve such environmental problems. In this direction, many researches are also running on the green use of microbial technology in bioremediation of toxic, carcinogenic and extremely harmful unused dye’s products as well as its by-products by elimination or degradation or de-colorization. This mini-review discusses about the some recent researches done in this field in order to solve this problem and future aspect of the use of this green technology
