3 Conclusion
It is no doubt that bioremediation is leading a way forward toward sustainable
development. Bioremediation has emerged as a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method. The knowledge regarding the pollutants has enhanced
research work in areas of bioremediation, by incorporating it with various other
techniques. However, for successful bioremediation, different environmental factors
and geological characteristics of a polluted site also need to be considered. There is
an urgent need to bring out the lab-scale works to commercial scale for potential
implementation. More data about unexplored microbial communities need to be
available in the online databases for better understanding of microbial genetics and
its efficacy in degrading pollutants.
