Item Análisis del rol de los microorganismos en la transformación, degradación y biorremediación de compuestos organoclorados en ambientes acuáticos y suelos contaminados: Una revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Caicedo Artunduaga, Andres Felipe; Fernandez Daza, Fabian Felipe (Director)This systematic review evaluates the role of microorganisms in the transformation, degradation, and bioremediation of organochlorine compounds in aquatic environments and contaminated soils. A total of 25 scientific studies published between 2015 and 2025 were analyzed, covering regions such as India, China, Egypt, Spain, Italy, Colombia, Mexico, and Nigeria. The most prominent microorganisms include bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Dehalococcoides, Paenibacillus, Enterobacter; fungi such as Trametes versicolor and Penicillium crustosum; and microalgae such as Cystoseira spp. Under controlled conditions, removal rates above 90% were observed for pesticides such as DDT, lindane, diuron, 2,4- D, and PCP. Key mechanisms include dehalogenation, co-metabolism, aerobic oxidation, and complete mineralization. The effectiveness of these processes depends on factors such as pH, temperature, nutrient availability, and the type of microbial consortium. This review highlights the biotechnological potential of microorganisms in mitigating persistent pollutants, promoting ecological restoration and public health.
