Integration of Bioinformatics in Bioremediation

Nida Tabassum Khan

Currently bioinformatics assists in the expansion and implementation of bioremediation in a more efficient way by utilizing computational tools to catalogue numerous microbes with biodegrading capabilities. Besides recognition of microbial enzymes involved in biodegradation cycle, knowledge of structural biochemistry of different pollutants and their toxicity helps in in silico study of bioremediation pathways.
