Abstract

Bioremediation mediated by microorganisms is proving to be cost effective, ecofriendly and sustainable technology. Genome enable experimental and modeling techniques are of a great help in evaluating physiology and enhancing performance of life forms to be used for bioremediation purpose. Similarly, the application of proteomics in bioremediation research provides a global view of the protein composition of microbial cell and offers promising approach to understand the molecular mechanism of removal of toxic material from the environment. Combination of proteomics and genomics in bioremediation is an insight into global metabolic and regulatory network that can enhance the understanding of gene functions. Present chapter give a bird's eye view of genomics and proteomics and their potential utilization in bioremediation and for the clearer understanding of the cellular responses to environmental stimuli. An understanding of the growth conditions governing the expression of proteome in a specific environment is essential for developing rational strategies for successful bioremediation.
