This review summarizes the current knowledge about polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminants in the environment and emphasizes the importance of using benzo(a)pyrene in this research. It highlights the removal methods for PAHs and their limitations in bioremediation, while thoroughly explaining the factors that influence remediation, with a focus on using bioremediation to remove PAHs. The use of bacteria and fungi as potential degraders of PAHs pollutants has emerged and is extensively studied to determine the optimal removal conditions. The degradation pathways of PAHs are also discussed to provide insights into microbial bioremediation for reducing PAHs.
This review summarizes current knowledge of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminant in the environment and the importance of using benzo(a)pyrene in this study. It highlights the removal techniques in eliminating the PAHs and their limitations on the bioremediation method. The factors that affect the remediation were thoroughly explained in this paper, focusing on removing PAHs using bioremediation. The remediation methods using bacteria and fungi have emerged as the potential degrader of PAHs pollutants and are being extensively studied to evaluate the best removal conditions. The PAHs degradation pathways have also been discussed in this paper to provide insight on microbial bioremediation in reducing PAHs.
