Abstract

Soil pollution is a significant problem due to harmful toxic substances, particularly organic compounds and heavy metals, resulting from various anthropogenic activities. To address this issue, a synergistic approach involving the use of nanotechnology and bioremediation has been proposed. Nano-bioremediation is a very efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally benign approach for reducing both organic and inorganic pollutants. Nanoparticles (NPs) enhance catalytic, adsorptive, and reactive properties, whereas microorganisms and extracts serve as eco-friendly catalysts. The combination of nanomaterials (NMs) and bioremediation techniques has the potential to significantly transform toxic substances either in situ or ex-situ to clean polluted environments. This article reviews recent developments in nano-bioremediation to eliminate organic and inorganic pollutants from contaminated soils. The use of NPs has the potential to enhance soil bioremediation for the removal of harmful substances through immobilization or stimulation of microbial activities and enzymes involved in the remediation process. It also discusses the mechanism of the interaction of NMs with other microorganisms and their roles in the remediation of polluted environments. Finally, the review discusses future perspectives and challenges regarding the importance of interactions between the soil microbiome, NPs, and contaminants to develop microbe-based nano-remediation strategies for organically and inorganically polluted environments.

用于清除土壤中无机和有机污染物的纳米生物修复技术。

土壤污染是一个严重的问题，是由各种人为活动产生的有害有毒物质，特别是有机化合物和重金属造成的。为了解决这一问题，提出了一种涉及使用纳米技术和生物修复的协同方法。纳米生物修复是一种高效、经济、环保的减少有机和无机污染物的方法。纳米颗粒（NPs）增强催化、吸附和反应性能，而微生物和提取物则作为环保催化剂。纳米材料（NMs）与生物修复技术的结合具有将有毒物质就地或移地转化为清洁污染环境的潜力。本文综述了纳米生物修复技术在消除污染土壤中有机和无机污染物方面的最新进展。NPs的使用有可能通过固定或刺激参与修复过程的微生物活动和酶来加强土壤生物修复，以去除有害物质。并讨论了NMs与其他微生物的相互作用机制及其在污染环境修复中的作用。最后，本文讨论了土壤微生物组、NPs和污染物之间相互作用的重要性，以及未来的展望和挑战，以开发基于微生物的有机和无机污染环境的纳米修复策略。
