ABSTRACT
A better knowledge of the part that microbial processes play in the tolerance and breakdown of contaminants would be beneficial to the bioremediation process. The mechanisms and genes that are involved in the formation of biofilms can be of assistance in the research that is conducted to develop new bioremediation strategies. The efficiency and economy of biochemical functions for treating toxic effluents, as well as the possibilities of biofilm matrix for bioremediation processes, make them superior to chemical and physical ones. Biofilms are essential in many engineering applications, such as wastewater management, the bioproduction of valuable chemicals, and bioremediation, despite the fact that they are known to cause problems across several sectors of human wellbeing and the industry. Unexpectedly, biofilms are intended for the bioremediation since they absorb, immobilize, and degrade a variety of environmental contaminants. The bioremediation process stands to gain from a deeper understanding of the role that microbiological processes play in the toleration and degradation of pollutants. The mechanisms and genes that are involved in the creation of biofilms can be of assistance in the discovery of new bioremediation techniques.
