Abstract

As a result of the work of industrial enterprises, agricultural production and other types of human activity in the world, the problem of environmental pollution with difficult-to-degrade toxic compounds is becoming increasingly acute. Various physical and chemical methods of recultivation and remediation have serious limitations, such as high cost, labor intensity, as well as disruption of the ecological-trophic structure and successional changes in ecosystems. The catalytic decomposition of pollutants using enzymes can compete with classical methods of cleaning the environment from pollutants. Peroxidases are widespread enzymes belonging to the class of oxidoreductases that can destroy the carbon backbone of complex organic compounds. This review presents recent research on the application of bacterial peroxidases as environmentally friendly catalysts for the bioremediation of contaminated ecosystems.
