Pollution resulting from human activities is a pressing global issue with far-reaching consequences for both the environment and human health. The biodegradation of pollutants by microorganisms stands out as a sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective approach for environmental cleanup. This paper explores the fundamental role of biochemistry in understanding the mechanisms by which microorganisms transform pollutants into benign byproducts. We discuss the significance of biodegradation, types of pollutants that can be biodegraded, and the pivotal role of enzymes in these processes.
