species to enact the process of phytoextraction. If there is a need felt to introduce
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), then proper safety measures should be
taken care.
The use of bioinformatics has been able to provide, in silico based assumptions,
making it more convenient to analyze how and which specific genes need to be
modified/upgraded in order to have effective bioremediation process. There is still
lot to learn about the different metabolic pathways favoring bioremediation in the
microorganisms at grass root level. Thus it could be said that computational biology
along with synthetic biology can bring the much desired boom required for creating,
developing a whole class of microbes, which have the ability to degrade and remove
all sort of accumulated waste chemicals. This can be achieved if we are able to merge
metagenomics approach as well gene editing to help the world by removing the
waste in the most appropriate manner.
Note: Approvals and permissions have been taken in case of reproducing of the
dataset.
