Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a versatile and resilient bacterium that has gained attention for its potential in the bioremediation of organic contaminants, including hydrocarbons, industrial chemicals, and pesticides. This review investigates the role of P. aeruginosa in degrading a wide range of organic pollutants, focusing on the key mechanisms involved, such as enzyme production, metabolic pathways, and genetic flexibility that enable its survival in polluted environments. The review also explores bioremediation methods leveraging P. aeruginosa, such as bioaugmentation and biostimulation, to enhance the microbial degradation of contaminants in soils, water, and wastewater. Despite i o the promising applications, challenges like environmental conditions, pollutant toxicity, and the bacterium's limited substrate range need to be addressed for improved efficiency. This article provides an in-depth look into the current advancements, opportunities, and challenges in using P. aeruginosa for bioremediation, offering insights into future strategies for optimizing its role in environmental cleanup.
