Role of Microbial Hydrolases in Bioremediation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbes and Enzymes in Soil Health and Bioremediation

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 16))

Abstract

Bioremediation deals with the utilization of microorganisms to degrade environmental pollutants. Bioremediation principally depends upon those microorganisms which enzymatically attack the pollutants and convert them to less toxic or innocuous products. A large number of enzymes from bacteria, fungi, and plants degrade perilous organic pollutants to compounds like CO2, CH4, H2O, and biomass without harmfully disturbing the environment. Bioremediation is an economically and environmentally pleasant biotechnological approach empowered by microbial enzymes. The knowledge of the mechanisms of bioremediation-related enzymes like hydrolases has been extensively studied in the present review. Microbial breakdown and environmental reactions like hydrolysis, a peculiar feature of lipases and esterases, can renovate toxic compounds into less toxic compounds. Bioremediation using these hydrolytic enzymes is a usually safe, cheaper, and eco-friendly system in eliminating the pollutants from the environment. The present review attempts to afford descriptive information on the lipases/esterases sourced from a number of microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of a broad series of pollutants.
