Our interest in the microbial biodegradation of xenobiotics has increased many folds
in recent years to find out sustainable ways for environmental cleanup. Bioremediation
and biotransformation processes harness the naturally occurring ability of microbes
to degrade, transform or accumulate a wide range of organic pollutants. Major methodological
breakthroughs in recent years through detailed genomic, metagenomic, proteomic, bioinformatic
and other high-throughput analyses of environmentally relevant microorganisms have
provided us unprecedented insights into key biodegradative pathways and the ability
of organisms to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The degradation of a wide
spectrum of organic pollutants and wastes discharged into the environment by anthropogenic
activities is an emerging need today to promote sustainable development of our society
with low environmental impact. Microbial processes play a major role in the removal
of recalcitrant compounds taking advantage of the astonishing catabolic versatility
of microorganisms to degrade or transform such compounds. New breakthroughs in sequencing,
genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and imaging are generating vital information
which opens a new era providing new insights of metabolic and regulatory networks,
as well as clues to the evolution of degradation pathways and to the molecular adaptation
strategies to changing environmental conditions. Functional genomic and metagenomic
approaches are increasing our understanding of the relative importance of different
pathways and regulatory networks to carbon flux in particular environments and for
particular compounds. New approaches will certainly accelerate the development of
bioremediation technologies and biotransformation processes in coming years for natural
attenuation of contaminated environments
