“…Bioaccumulation in organisms can be achieved through the direct uptake of toxic metals. Soil animals, such as earthworms, are ideal candidates for this process (Boughattas et al, 2019). However, the long-term stability of microbial immobilization processes should be further assessed.…”

To promote human well-being and ensure healthy lives, the United Nations has set an ambitious sustainable development goal to reduce illnesses and deaths associated with soil contamination by 2030 (UN, 2015). Soil is a fragile, nonrenewable resource that is fundamental to life on earth (FAO, 2015;Hou et al., 2020). However, anthropogenic activities have led to widespread soil degradation and contamination (FAO, 2018). In Europe, there are approximately 2.5 million sites that are potentially contaminated by heavy metals and organic contaminants (EEA, 2018). In USA, 235,000-355,000 sites need to be remediated (US EPA 2004). In China, it is estimated that 16.1% of the nation's land contains

“…corethrurus can probably reduce the mobile form of metal while increase its stable form in the rhizosphere (Lemtiri et al, 2016, Boughattas et al, 2017. Boughattas et al, (2018) justified the decrease of Pb concentration in Acacia biomass under earthworm treatment by the fact that earthworm can reduced the amount of Pb associated with the soluble and exchangeable fraction. These results suggest that, although earthworms have the potential to improve the efficiency of plant phytoremediation in metal-contaminated soils, its effectiveness depends on the nature of the plant, its behavior towards metals, rhizosphere function, and metal speciation in different soil compartments involved in the phytoremediation process.…”

“…Furthermore, most previous studies have justified this finding by the fact that earthworms have the potential to modify edaphic parameters such as soil structure, organic matter decomposition and indirectly facilitate the uptake of many important nutrients by plant and consequently promote plant growth. In addition, the enhancement of Acacia growth performance can be attributed to the fact that some earthworms species can decrease the content of potential toxic elements (PTEs) in metal contaminated soil through the accumulation potential toxic elements (PTEs) in their tissues and consequently promote plant growth, as demonstrated in many studies (Lemtiri et al, 2016;Sizmur et al, 2011;Boughattas et al, 2018) in the presence of different species of earthworms (E. fetida, Lumbricus terrestris, P. corethrurus). A similar finding has been documented by Jusselme et al (2015) who showed that the presence of P. corethrurus could enhance the biomass of Lantana camara L. by approximately 1.5-2fold under Pb stress.…”

“…Previous studies have reported the interactive role of earthworms in improving plant growth in noncontaminated soils (Braga et al, 2016). In addition to this, the benefit effect of earthworms in the remediation of metal contaminated soil has been very well demonstrated in numerous research (Boughattas et al, 2017(Boughattas et al, , 2018Lv et al, 2016;Lemtiri et al, 2016), but only few studies have been conducted to assess their role in improving plant metal uptake during phytoremediation in contaminated soils (Kaur et al, 2017).…”

In this paper, the impact of Pontoscolex corethrurus on Acacia mangium growth and its phytoremediation efficiency in metal-contaminated soils were studied in a greenhouse pot culture under four treatments: non contaminated soil-non inoculated, control (C); non contaminated soilinoculated (NcI); contaminated soil-non inoculated (CNi); contaminated soil-inoculated (CI). The results showed that A. mangium growth performance and its Pb, Ni and Cr uptake were significantly (P<0.05) increased under CI treatment. Under CNi treatment, A. mangium uptake more Ni and Cr content in root tissue than in shoot tissue. But for Pb, the greater content was noted in shoot tissue. A. mangium noninoculated preferentially promoted the phytoimmobilization process for Cr and Ni and the phytoextraction process for Pb. However, under CI treatment, the greater content of potential toxic elements (Cr, Ni and Pb) was observed in roots tissue and A. mangium inoculated promoted the phytoimmobilization process for Cr, Ni and Pb. In addition, the phytoextraction efficiency (PEE) of A. mangium increase (ranged 0.1% under CNi to 14% under CI treatment. This study indicates that earthworms can be used to enhance the phytoremediation efficiency of metal-tolerant plant species in contaminated soil.

The problem of plastic prevalence and associated pollution has grasped the entire planet drastically, putting all fields of science on the stake seeking remedies to this global havoc. To address this crisis, with a single remediation strategy is often found to be baseless, thereby much interest has been evoked in the development of multidisciplinary approaches -involving physicochemical and biological strategies to nullify the aftermath of plastic pollution in all possible means. Even amidst, the availability of different approaches, the use of biological methods to combat plastic degradation has gained momentum. The most frequently used plastics appear in wide forms such as polyethylene plastic bags, polypropylene-based bottles, polyvinyl chloride pipes and polystyrene styrene cups. Plastic nicknamed as one of the toughest polymers viz. polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and Polydicyclopentadiene; quite often are called so as they resist degradation in normal environmental strategies. They are often degraded in non-hostile and harsh environments of pH, temperature, radiation etc. However, not always it is possible to create such harsh environments for plastic degradation. In such a scenario, the use of gut microbes that can withstand the harsh atmosphere of gut environment could serve as promising candidates for plastic biodegradation. The current article envisages the various gut microbes of various biological agents and their role in plastic remediation. The current review compiles the techniques available for plastic remediation, the microbial prospects of plastic remediation, its challenges, and possible breakthroughs to effective plastic remediation.
