Abstract:
The persistence of recalcitrant pesticides in agricultural soils poses a serious threat to environmental and public health. Conventional remediation methods often have limited efficiency and, sustainability. Whereas, microbial degradation provides an eco-friendly and attractive alternative. This review highlights advances in molecular and biotechnological tools driving microbial pesticide degradation. It also emphasizes key genes, enzymatic pathways, and resilient microbes driving recalcitrant pesticide degradation. This review discusses the integration of next-generation sequencing, multi-omics platforms, CRISPR-Cas editing, synthetic biology, and AI-driven metabolic engineering in advancing microbial pesticide degradation. It also highlights progress in rhizosphere microbiome research, bioinformatics pipelines, and field-scale validation. The transition from lab to field highlights precision bioremediations' potential for sustainable pesticide management.
