Abstract

Environmental pollution from agricultural activities poses significant challenges globally. Bioremediation, using microbial diversity to degrade contaminants, offers a sustainable solution. This study explores microbial diversity's potential in agricultural waste bioremediation. Agricultural wastes, including crop residues and agro-industrial by-products, contribute to soil degradation and water pollution. Bioremediation, employing microorganisms to detoxify pollutants, presents a promising alternative to traditional waste management methods. Microbial diversity enhances bioremediation efficacy, with diverse species possessing unique metabolic pathways for pollutant degradation. Recent advances in microbial ecology and biotechnology have improved bioremediation effectiveness, highlighting its potential in sustainable agriculture. Bioremediation of agricultural wastes can convert them into valuable products, supporting environmental sustainability. The study isolated diverse microbial strains and characterized their properties, laying the groundwork for efficient bioremediation applications. Optimization experiments identified optimal growth conditions for key microbial strains, crucial for bioremediation success. Bioremediation assays demonstrated the microbial consortia's efficiency in degrading organic pollutants, supporting their potential for waste management. The study's findings reinforce the hypothesis that microbial diversity enhances bioremediation efficiency, offering sustainable pollution mitigation in agriculture. Further research can optimize microbial consortia and environmental conditions for enhanced bioremediation efficacy, contributing to efficient waste management in agricultural settings.
