Abstract
Worldwide, environmental pollution is a serious issue that has an impact on ecosystems, public health, and biodiversity. At the moment, traditional technology cannot resolve this problem because the necessary treatments are costly, time-consuming, and unsuccessful [4] . The method of removing toxic waste from the environment by means of biological agents is now referred to as bioremediation[1].The dangers involved in releasing genetically modified microorganisms (GEMs) into the environment have limited the use of GEMs for pollution abatement [2].The usual engineering approaches based on physicochemical methods for the remediation of these polluted sites present both technical and financial challenges. [The most promising, reasonably efficient, and economical approach is bioremediation, which uses microorganisms to remove contaminants[8]. Transgenic plants and genetically modified microorganisms can work together symbiotically to improve the efficiency of bioremediation at contaminated locations[4]. Due to their improved ability to degrade a broad variety of chemical pollutants, genetically modified microbes, or GEMs, have demonstrated promise for bioremediation applications in soil, groundwater, and activated sludge environments[7].
