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

Enhanced bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soil by immobilized bacteria with plant residue and biochar as carriers
TL;DR: Enhanced bioremediation of soil having a long history of PAH contamination by IMT using plant residues and biochars as carriers is illustrated and it is feasible to use adsorption carriers with high sorptive capabilities to concentrate PAHs as well as microorganisms and thereby enhance dissipation ofPAHs and mitigate soil pollution.

Decolorization of azo, triphenylmethane and anthraquinone dyes by a newly isolated Trametes sp. SQ01 and its laccase
TL;DR: Strain SQ01 was capable of decolorizing a variety of synthetic dyes, including azo, triphenylmethane, and anthraquinone dye, with an optimal efficiency ofDecolorization obtained when dyes added after 5 days of culture, with the exception of Cresol Red, showing that the point of dye addition was an important influencing factor for decolorization by this fungus.
