Industrial revolutions are the primary force powering society's economic and technological advancement. However, the thriving industrialisation and uncontrolled increase of current production units led to widespread environmental pollution as a result of increased waste discharge that is full of harmful, dangerous, and cancer-causing substances. Due to the ongoing appearance of new resistant contaminants, physicochemical-based remediation methods were considered expensive, causing a secondary disposal issue and continuing to fall short when mitigating pollution. For these reasons, microbial bioremediation has become a great option for reducing pollution since it is environmentally beneficial, socially acceptable, and has fewer health risks. Additionally, genetically modified bacteria with a strong ability to remove environmental toxins are frequently used in environmental restoration due to recent advancements in biotechnology and microbiology, making bioremediation more practical and environmentally safe.
