TLDR
In this article, the application of microbes to degrade waste is gaining attention due to its environmental and economic benefits, and the prospects of waste valorization for the production of biopolymers, biofuels, biocompost and industrial enzymes are also discussed.Abstract:
Currently, pollution control, environmental management, treatment and recycling of wastes have become critical issues. One of the major reasons behind the growing environmental pollution is illegal disposal of waste. Due to the toxicity of waste, establishing efficient and environmentally friendly method to degrade and detoxify these wastes represent an important research challenge. Various physiochemical methods are applied all over the world for solid waste management. The application of microbes to degrade waste is gaining attention due to its environmental and economic benefits. The present review deals with application of microbes in bioremediation of hazardous wastes. This review also outlines the various factors that limit the use of microbial waste bioremediation technologies. Moreover, the prospects of waste valorization for the production of biopolymers, biofuels, biocompost and industrial enzymes are also discussed in the review article.read more
