Abstract
Among the most harmful contaminants to the environment and human health are various types of pesticides widely used in agriculture, which exhibit genotoxic and cytotoxic effects. Bioremediation emerges as a promising solution to mitigate these adverse effects. In this systematic review and scientometric analysis, the PRISMA model (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) was employed to identify the bacterial species most commonly used in the bioremediation of water bodies contaminated with pesticides. SCOPUS database and tools such as R Studio and VOSviewer were used for the analysis.
The results reveal that organophosphate pesticides, particularly chlorpyrifos are the most commonly studied for microbial degradation, mainly with bacterial genera such as Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Bacillus. Furthermore, the scientometric analysis highlights the high scientific output from countries like China, Denmark, and Egypt, providing a comprehensive overview of key contributions and collaborations in this field. Additionally, the analysis identified leading researchers, the most impactful scientific communities, and the leading research centers, creating a detailed map of contributions and international collaborations in this critical area of biotechnology.
