Publication Beneficial microbiomes for bioremediation of diverse contaminated environments for environmental sustainability: present status and future challenges(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Kour, Divjot; Kaur, Tanvir; Devi, Rubee; Yadav, Ashok; Singh, Manali; Joshi, Divya; Singh, Jyoti; Suyal, Deep Chandra; Kumar, Ajay; Rajput, Vishnu D.; Yadav, Ajar Nath; Singh, Karan; Singh, Joginder; Sayyed, Riyaz Z.; Arora, Naveen Kumar; Saxena, Anil KumarOver the past few decades, the rapid development of agriculture and industries has resulted in contamination of the environment by diverse pollutants, including heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls, plastics, and various agrochemicals. Their presence in the environment is of great concern due to their toxicity and non-biodegradable nature. Their interaction with each other and coexistence in the environment greatly influence and threaten the ecological environment and human health. Furthermore, the presence of these pollutants affects the soil quality and fertility. Physicochemical techniques are used to remediate such environments, but they are less effective and demand high costs of operation. Bioremediation is an efficient, widespread, cost-effective, and eco-friendly cleanup tool. The use of microorganisms has received significant attention as an efficient biotechnological strategy to decontaminate the environment. Bioremediation through microorganisms appears to be an economically viable and efficient approach because it poses the lowest risk to the environment. This technique utilizes the metabolic potential of microorganisms to clean up contaminated environments. Many microbial genera have been known to be involved in bioremediation, including Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter, Aspergillus, Bacillus, Burkholderia, Mucor, Penicillium, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Talaromyces, and Trichoderma. Archaea, including Natrialba and Haloferax, from extreme environments have also been reported as potent bioresources for biological remediation. Thus, utilizing microbes for managing environmental pollution is promising technology, and, in fact, the microbes provide a useful podium that can be used for an enhanced bioremediation model of diverse environmental pollutants. � 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Publication Himalayan Microbiomes for Agro-environmental Sustainability: Current Perspectives and Future Challenges(Springer, 2022) Suyal, Deep Chandra; Joshi, Divya; Kumar, Saurabh; Bhatt, Pankaj; Narayan, Arun; Giri, Krishna; Singh, Manali; Soni, Ravindra; Kumar, Rakshak; Yadav, Ashok; Devi, Rubee; Kaur, Tanvir; Kour, Divjot; Yadav, Ajar NathThe Himalayas are one of the most mystical, yet least studied terrains of the world. One of Earth�s greatest multifaceted and diverse montane ecosystems is also one of the thirty-four global biodiversity hotspots of the world. These are supposed to have been uplifted about 60�70 million years ago and support, distinct environments, physiography, a variety of orogeny, and great biological diversity (plants, animals, and microbes). Microbes are the pioneer colonizer of the Himalayas that are involved in various bio-geological cycles and play various significant roles. The applications of Himalayan microbiomes inhabiting in lesser to greater Himalayas have been recognized. The researchers explored the applications of indigenous microbiomes in both agricultural and environmental sectors. In agriculture, microbiomes from Himalayan regions have been suggested as better biofertilizers and biopesticides for the crops growing at low temperature and mountainous areas as they help in the alleviation of cold stress and other biotic stresses. Along with alleviation of low temperature, Himalayan microbes also have the capability to enhance plant growth by availing the soluble form of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and iron. These microbes have been recognized for producing plant growth regulators (abscisic acid, auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, and gibberellins). These microbes have been reported for bioremediating the diverse�pollutants (pesticides, heavy metals, and xenobiotics)�for environmental sustainability. In the current�perspectives, present�review provides a detailed discussion on the ecology, biodiversity, and adaptive features of the native Himalayan microbiomes in view to achieve agro-environmental sustainability. � 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
