Bioremediation of Toxic Pesticides in Soil Using Microbial Products

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mycoremediation and Environmental Sustainability

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

Environmental contamination is increasing day by day and hence new systems should be developed for its remediation. Therefore, we attempt to depend much on manageable approaches to treat contamination. Bioremediation is one such encouraging procedure in which microorganisms are utilized for the treatment of environmental pollutants and can be characterized as environmental reaction to environmental abuse. Bioremediation deals with environmental restoration of the already contaminated environments and with the cleaning of regions that have been contaminated as of late, due to the production, storage, transport, and utilization of chemicals. Among these chemicals, pesticides are exceptionally significant as they are widely utilized to increase the yield and quality of crops by protecting them. Likewise, pesticides have turned into an important component of current agribusiness. However, nonstop use of pesticides prompts degradation of the air. Pesticides have turned into a noteworthy contaminant of atmosphere, water, soil, and vegetables. Microorganism and their by-products (e.g., enzyme, toxin, crystal protein, pigments, and biosurfactants) play a significant role in preserving the environment by degrading chemical wastes and xenobiotic compounds that have becomes toxicants.
