From Laboratory to Fields: Unlocking the Potential of CRISPR-Driven Biopesticides INDUJA MISHRA, PASHUPATI NATH, AJAY SINGH, SAMEER CHANDRA, NAMITA JOSHI, SHIVAM BAHUGUNA, ARYAN PATEL AND JASPAL SINGH Biopesticides International, 2025 Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology has revolutionized genetic engineering, opening unprecedented opportunities for biopesticide development. By enabling precise genetic modifications, CRISPR is addressing the challenges of pest resistance, environmental safety, and specificity in biopesticide applications. This review explores innovations in CRISPR-driven biopesticide development, assesses their socioeconomic and ecological impacts, and identifies future directions for research and application. The integration of CRISPR with digital technologies, regulatory hurdles, and strategies for sustainable pest management are also discussed. By outlining the route of CRISPR from controlled laboratory surroundings to real-world field applications, this review underlines its evolutionary perspective in transforming pest control prototypes. The conjunction of gene-editing knowledge, agroecological responsibility, and agronomic invention marks an innovative period in which CRISPR-driven biopesticides can play a fundamental role in safeguarding agricultural sustainability as well as climate resilience..

Environmental Contaminants: Sources, Types and Future Challenges: An Update Ravi Kumar Gangwar, Neha Singh, Pashupati Nath, Anamika Agarwal, Jaspal Singh Green Technologies for Industrial Contaminants, 2025 Various issues arise for both living organisms and the environment due to numerous pollutants present in the environment. Despite ongoing efforts to address and minimize these pollutants, there are new “emerging” environmental contaminants that pose a problem. These emerging pollutants include Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, disinfection by-products (DBPs), endocrine disrupting compounds, hormones, algal toxins, and others. These pollutants come from sources such as industrial processes, wastewater, agricultural runoff, etc. The problems posed by these emerging contaminants include wide-spread occurrence, bioaccumulation, persistence, and toxicity. Due to their diverse characteristics and outcomes, these pollutants pose a threat to human health and other life forms. This chapter explores the sources, consequences, and future challenges of these new contaminants.
Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation, 2023 A timely overview of techniques for involving biological organisms in the remediation of polluted ecosystems As a result of worldwide industry, urbanization, and population growth, many harmful organic and inorganic pollutants have been introduced into the environment. With bioremediation, we can use fungi, bacteria, and plants—along with their secondary metabolites—to clean up areas that have been affected by industrial and commercial activities. Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation presents a thorough consideration of the most important biologically-based remediation methods in use today. Environmental biotechnology is a more sustainable alternative to chemical and mechanical remediation methods, which explains the rapidly growing popularity of these techniques. This edited volume summarizes our current understanding of bioremediation approaches and presents research outcomes from a diverse selection of geographies and ecosystems. Chapters cover remediation techniques for pollutants affecting soil, water, air, and sediments, as well as tools for addressing these issues, including tools for assessment and monitoring. Uniquely, Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation emphasizes the latest findings on the use of secondary metabolites in bioremediation. Other topics covered include chemical sustainability, nanotechnology, and biofuels. Readers will gain an understanding of issues including: How biological organisms and their secondary metabolites are currently being used in environmental remediation projects worldwide New applications for phytomolecules, lichens, nanoparticles, rhizobacteria, and other technologies, as well as future directions for bioremediation The steps in the process of biotechnology-driven remediation, including detection, investigation, assessment, cleanup, redevelopment, and monitoring Remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons, algal carbon sequestration, wastewater management, and the role of fatty acid and proteins in remediationThe investigations in this book provide important knowledge for researchers in biotechnology, ecology, environmental science, and related disciplines. Additionally, policymakers and NGOs with an interest in remediating environmental contaminants will gain valuable context. Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation is a foundation for future research on biotechnological interventions for a clean planet.
Preface Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation, 2023
Biotechnology and Various Environmental Concerns: An Introduction Ravi K. Gangwar, Rajesh Bajpai, Jaspal Singh Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation, 2023 According to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), biotechnology is “any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for a specific use.” Biotechnology has revolutionized various sectors like medicine and health care, crop production and agriculture, food processing, and environmental protection. Moreover, biotechnology has provided novel opportunities for the sustainable production of various products and services. Additionally, environmental concerns encourage the use of biotechnology for biomonitoring as well as ecologically friendly chemical synthesis, waste minimization, and pollution management (decontamination of water, air, and soil). This chapter provides a brief introduction to biotechnology and various environmental concerns.
Biotechnological Approach for the Wastewater Management Anamika Agrawal, Sameer Chandra, Anand K. Gupta, Rajendra Singh, Jaspal Singh Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation, 2023 Biotechnology is capable to deal with the problem of wastewater treatment and also helps in water quality assessment. The biotechnological methods used for the remediation of wastewater are eco-friendly and economical approaches as they require less chemicals and manpower for their regulation. By keeping this fact scientists and engineers are working to generate GMOs like Pseudomonas spp. (Super Bug) and biologically advanced systems for the remediation of polluted aquatic bodies as well as for industrial wastewater treatment. The bioremediation process involves the methods using micro and macroorganism along with an activated sludge process, trickling filters, membrane bioreactors, and constructed wetlands that are well known for wastewater treatment. Several organisms, bacterial strains such as Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, fungi and yeast such as Saccharomyces spp ., Aureobasidium pullulans, R. nigricans, algae such as Chlorella vulgaris, Ascophyllum nodosum, Cladophora crispata, and macrophytes such as E . crassipes , T. natans , Pistia stratiotes , are used for the removal of toxic chemicals from wastewater water along with biotechnical involvements.
