Abstract

Use of pesticide is increasing day by day and the positive aspect renders enhanced crop/food productivity and drastic reduction of vector-borne diseases. However, its unregulated and indiscriminate applications have raised serious concerns in environmental pollution and health effects. Bioremediation methods use naturally occurring microorganisms to detoxify these pollutants and make soil fertile in the process. Bacterial degradation is one of the most environmentally sound, cost effective and quick process for the pesticide contaminated environment. This study includes the usage and the effects of pesticides, bacterial degradation, genetically modified bacteria, enzymatic immobilization approach and few limitations of biodegradation.
