摘要
The application of microbial strains as axenic cultures has frequently been employed in a diverse range of sectors. In the natural environment, microbes exist as multispecies and perform better than monocultures. Cell signaling and communication pathways play a key role in engineering microbial consortia, because in a consortium, the microorganisms communicate via diffusible signal molecules. Mixed microbial cultures have gained little attention due to the lack of proper knowledge about their interactions with each other. Some ideas have been proposed to deal with and study various microbes when they live together as a community, for biotechnological application purposes. In natural environments, microbes can possess unique metabolic features. Therefore, microbial consortia divide the metabolic burden among strains in the group and robustly perform pesticide degradation. Synthetic microbial consortia can perform the desired functions at naturally contaminated sites. Therefore, in this article, special attention is paid to the microbial consortia and their function in the natural environment. This review comprehensively discusses the recent applications of microbial consortia in pesticide degradation and environmental bioremediation. Moreover, the future directions of synthetic consortia have been explored. The review also explores the future perspectives and new platforms for these approaches, besides highlighting the practical understanding of the scientific information behind consortia.
