MITIGATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION BY GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BACTERIA: CURRENT CHALLENGES AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
Liu, L., M. Bilal, X. Duan, and H.M.N. Iqbal.
Science of the Total Environment 667:444-454(2019)
Advantages of genetically engineered bacteria and their application in the treatment of a wide variety of environmental contaminants, such as synthetic dyestuff, heavy metal, petroleum hydrocarbons, PCBs, phenazines and agricultural chemicals, are summarized in this article. Challenges and limitations associated with the application of recombinant bacteria on contaminated sites are also discussed that consider the risk of genetic material exchange when using genetically engineered bacteria. An integrated microbiological, biological and ecological acquaintance accompanied by field engineering designs are the desired features for effective in situ bioremediation of hazardous waste polluted sites by recombinant bacteria.
