Abstract
Bioremediation, the use of living organisms to clean up environmental pollutants, is a promising strategy for addressing contamination in soil, water, and air. This article explores genetic approaches to advancing bioremediation, focusing on the development of genetically engineered microorganisms and plants to enhance their ability to degrade or transform hazardous substances. We discuss the mechanisms of pollutant degradation, the genetic modifications that improve bioremediation efficiency, and the challenges and future directions of this field. Furthermore, we highlight recent advancements in synthetic biology and its role in creating novel bioremediation solutions for complex environmental pollutants.
