Abstract

The optimization of microbial consortia has emerged as a promising approach for the enhanced biodegradation of environmental pollutants. Microbial consortia, composed of diverse microorganisms, exhibit synergistic interactions that can break down a wide range of organic and inorganic contaminants. This study explores the optimization of microbial consortia for efficient bioremediation of environmental pollutants, focusing on parameters such as microbial composition, nutrient supplementation, environmental conditions, and incubation time. By improving the microbial interactions and conditions, we aim to enhance the biodegradation rates and the overall efficiency of pollutant removal. The findings demonstrate the potential of optimized microbial consortia in treating complex contaminants in soil and water systems, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional chemical-based remediation methods.
