Abstract
The environment quality directly linked to life’s quality on earth. In the present scenario due to the increasing growth and development in the human society, the stability in the climate is drastically changing. Due to the increase in manufacturing industries and intensification in agriculture, results in release of harmful chemical compounds which leads to soil and water contamination. Therefore, we need a biological mechanism with which we can enhance the quality of our life by transforming and eliminating the organic or inorganic pollutants. Bioremediation is considered to be the best alternative nowadays for removal of these contaminants from environment. Bioremediation uses natural occurring microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) used to remove environmental contamination. This biological mechanism is safer than the existing physical and chemical treatments.
