“…Modern bioremediation approaches show that, when used in in-situ and ex-situ techniques, biosurfactants are an excellent ecological alternative to established synthetic surfactants, as they are able to maintain a high rate of biodegradation in contaminated soils [130]. Compared to their synthetic counterpart, microbial surfactants can be released in situ, display their effects with less subsequent handling effort, and are technically efficient and cost-effective.…”

Petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals and agricultural pesticides have mutagenic, carcinogenic, immunotoxic and teratogenic effects and cause drastic changes in soil physicochemical and microbiological characteristics, thereby representing a serious danger to health and environment. Therefore, soil pollution urgently requires the application of a series of physicochemical and biological techniques and treatments to minimize the extent of damage. Among them, bioremediation has been shown to be an alternative that can offer an economically viable way to restore polluted areas. Due to the difficulty in choosing the best bioremediation technique for each type of pollutant and the paucity of literature on soil bioremediation enhanced by the use of specific additives, we reviewed the main in situ and ex situ methods, their current properties and applications. The first section discusses the characteristics of each class of pollutants in detail, while the second section presents current bioremediation technologies and their main uses, followed by a comparative analysis showing their respective advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we address the application of surfactants and biosurfactants as well as the main trends in the bioremediation of contaminated soils.

“…Bioremediation could be defined according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) "treatment that uses naturally occurring organisms tobreak down hazardous substances into less toxic or nontoxic substances" (Singh et al 2020a). Bioremediation could be achieved essentially using the microorganisms in remediation of the pollutants present in water and soil matrices (Saxena et al 2019;Halecký and Kozliak 2020). It is worth mention that different modern bioremediation approaches could be applied through using biosurfactants, emulsifiers, enzymes, biopesticides and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) (Halecký and Kozliak, 2020).…”

T HE human activities include the agricultural, industrial and other activities. The agricultural sector is considered the main source for our life's supplies. However, the agricultural activities or practices might result many pollutants such as applied mineral fertilizers, pesticides, effluents from domestic and industrial sewages and vehicular emissions. Therefore, a remediation to remove or decrease the pollutants in soil and water is needed for the environment protection. This remediation has several classic strategies several years ago, but a promising and new approaches have been established particularly nano-remediation. This nano-remediation depends on the applied nanomaterials in removing pollutants from soils and water through nano-bioremediation and nano-phytoremediation. The most important nanomaterials that have potential in removing pollutants from contaminated soils and water are nano-silica, nano-zero-valent of iron, nano-sized iron sulfide particles, nano-ZnO and others. However, many challenges or open questions are still needing a justification because using nanomaterials in higher concentrations are toxic to plants and agro-environment. Are these nanomaterials stable under environmental conditions or will be converted into toxic ones or still need to be identified for sustainable nano-remediation? Is there any possibility to enter the nanomaterials or other toxic compounds the food chain through these plants? Therefore, a lot of further research is needed concerning the nano-remediation in removal the agro-pollutants.

“…Bioremediation, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, is a method that transforms harmful compounds into less dangerous or benign ones using naturally existing organisms (Singh et al 2020b). Bioremediation can primarily be achieved by applying microorganisms to the remediation of pollutants found in water and soil (Saxena et al 2019;Halecký and Kozliak 2020;Bhojiya et al 2021). It is worth mentioning that various modern bioremediation approaches, such as the application of biosurfactants, emulsifiers, enzymes, biopesticides, and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), could be used (Halecký and Kozliak 2020).…”

The rise in environmental pollutant levels in recent years is mostly attributable to anthropogenic activities such as industrial, agricultural and other activities. Additionally, these activities may produce excessive levels of dangerous toxicants such as heavy metals, organic pollutants including pesticide and herbicide chemicals, and sewage discharges from residential and commercial sources. With a focus on environmentally friendly, sustainable technology, new technologies such as combined process of nanotechnology and bioremediation are urgently needed to accelerate the cost-effective remediation process to alleviate toxic contaminants than the conventional remediation methods. Numerous studies have shown that nanoparticles possess special qualities including improved catalysis and adsorption as well as increased reactivity. Currently, microorganisms and their extracts are being used as promising, environmentally friendly catalysts for engineered nanomaterial. In the long term, this combination of both technologies called nano-bioremediation may significantly alter the field of environmental remediation since it is more intelligent, safe, environmentally friendly, economical and green. This review provides an overview of soil and water remediation techniques as well as the use of nano-bioremediation, which is made from various living organisms. Additionally, current developments related to the mechanism, model and kinetic studies for remediation of agricultural contaminants have been discussed.
