Application of Synthetic Microbiome to Bioaugmentation of Pesticide Pollution
Abstract
The issue of soil contamination from chemical pesticides is a pressing concern in today’s world. The excessive use of these chemicals can lead to their accumulation in soil over time, posing risks to both the environment and human health. And synthetic biology is known as the third biotechnology revolution. So from the perspective of bioaugmentation, this paper elaborated on the use of synthetic microbiome bioaugmentation of organic pesticides to provide an environmentally friendly and effective new solution for pesticide pollution. This paper first reviews the development of synthetic microbiome on the basis of synthetic biology, and then lists the current applications of synthetic microbiome in various fields. By comparing with the characteristics of physical degradation and chemical degradation, the advantages of choosing biodegradable organic pesticides were analyzed, and the examples of synthetic microbiome on bioaugmentation herbicide pollution and insecticide pollution were introduced. Through comprehensive and objective analysis, the problems that need to be solved in the field of bioaugmentation and the future optimization direction of synthetic microbiome are shown in the end.
