Introduction
Industrial wastewater/waste is an important contributor to the global economy, but they are also one of the biggest causes of contamination globally. In order to ensure environmental protection, it's indeed crucial to properly manage and purify industrial wastewater/waste. Today, the majority of wastewater treatment procedures rely on intricate microbial communities to remove toxins. Furthermore, the application of molecular biology techniques reduces these limits and skills to microbial ecology investigations. For the analysis of the microbial community, a number of molecular biology-based methods have been employed, such as 16S rRNA cloning, denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis, fluorescent in situ hybridization, Dot-blot hybridization, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and next-generation sequencing methods. Future applications to study the microbial diversity in wastewater reactors using these methods look promising. The VSI highlights how the use of molecular methods in research on designed environmental systems has improved our understanding of the rich variety and interaction of microbes in wastewater treatment facilities.
The following topics can be considered:
1. Industrial wastewater management through biological treatment
2. Macular approaches in wastewater treatment and re-use
3. Investigating microbial biodiversity and metabolism with molecular methods for wastewater treatment
4. Molecular Techniques for microbes to remove hazardous elements
5. Molecular Techniques for plants to remove hazardous elements
6. Engineered microbes for wastewater treatment
