Actinobacteria: Current research and perspectives for bioremediation of pesticides and heavy metals.

TLDR
In this paper, a review of different bioremediation strategies using actinobacteria and how they contributed to the improvement of the already existing strategies is presented. And the importance of omic studies to elucidate mechanisms and regulations that bacteria use to cope with pollutant toxicity is discussed.

Remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils by biochar: Mechanisms, potential risks and applications in China.

TL;DR: Recent progresses in understanding metal-biochar interactions in soils, potential risks associated with biochar amendment, and application of biochar in soil remediation in China indicate that the remediation effect depends on the characteristics of both biochar and soil and their interactions.

Metagenomic Insights into Evolution of a Heavy Metal-Contaminated Groundwater Microbial Community

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a metagenomic analysis of a stressed groundwater microbial community and found that prolonged exposure to high concentrations of heavy metals, nitric acid and organic solvents (~50 years) have resulted in a massive decrease in species and allelic diversity as well as a significant loss of metabolic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioremediation of heavy metals by microbial process

TL;DR: Significance of bioremediation with the help of genetically engineered bacteria is in light because of its eco-friendly nature and minimum health hazards other than the physio-chemical dependent strategies, which are less eco friendly and dangerous to life.
