The steadily increasing presence of both natural and anthropogenic pollutants in our environment poses a considerable challenge, given the recalcitrance of many of these pollutants. Microbial bioremediation presents a promising and sustainable strategy that harnesses a diverse array of microorganisms, operating either concurrently or sequentially, to eliminate or mitigate the presence of pollutants within the environment. Recent years have witnessed the application of multiomics techniques to the study of biodegradation and bioremediation, yielding an abundance of novel data that enrich our comprehension of pivotal pathways and offer fresh perspectives on the adaptability of organisms amidst shifting environmental conditions.
This book brings together recent progress in microbial bioremediation, emphasizing the emerging field of multiomics technologies. It serves as a valuable reference for microbiologists exploring multiomics applications and environmental scientists seeking innovative remediation solutions.

Dr. Fuad Ameen is an Associate Professor and researcher at the Department of Botany and Microbiology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He graduated his Ph.D. on biodegradation of urban waste by mangrove fungi from King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. After that, he has been involved in many kinds of projects dealing with new solutions to treat polluted sites. He has collected and studied microbial strains from arid and marine ecosystems, assessing their ability to biodegrade the most common pollutants, and his program of research on these organisms has taken him to many places and to examples of every major type of terrestrial and marine bioecosystem. Sartaj Ahmad Bhat is working as a JSPS Postdoctoral Researcher at the River Basin Research Center, Gifu University, Japan. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India in 2017. His primary research focuses on the development and evaluation of treatment technologies for organic waste and wastewater from domestic and industrial outlets as well as organic waste recycling, with a focus on the biological and sustainable treatment by earthworms. Vineet Kumar is working as a National Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Microbiology, School of Life Sciences at Central University of Rajasthan, Rajasthan, India. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Microbiology from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar (A Central) University, Lucknow, India in 2018. Dr. Kumar’s research areas include bioremediation, phytoremediation, metagenomics, wastewater treatment, environmental monitoring, biofuel, and bioplastic production, and solid waste management with major focuses on the development of integrated and sustainable treatment techniques that can help in minimizing or eliminating hazardous waste or wastewater pollutants in the environment.
