Bacterial Consortia as potential Bioremediation agents for Wastewater Treatment: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract
Bioremediation has become a crucial technology to combat environmental pollution and waste management. This review amalgates the findings from several studies on the use of microorganisms precisely the immobilized bacterial consortia for the bioremediation of pollutants present in wastewater. The review features a variety of techniques such as use of electro spun bacterial nanofibers, microalgae predominant microbial consortia (MPMC) and other novel approaches to improve the efficiency of different bioremediation processes. This review also discusses the key challenges and future directions to present a thorough understanding of the existing condition and possible improvements in this field in the near future.
