This mini-review summarizes algal applications on soil bioremediation, both for the axenic cell growth to remove hazardous contaminants, and the consortia of bacteria and microalgae/cyanobacteria for organic pollutant degradation. It has been seen that algae and their artificial symbiosis with pollutant-degrading bacteria possess some advantages in the soil bioremediation. Furthermore, development of formulated enzymes from algae and/or bacteria-rather than whole cells-as effective agents for bioremediation will be a novel option in this field.

Abstract

This mini-review summarizes algal applications on soil bioremediation, both for the axenic cell growth to remove hazardous contaminants, and the consortia of bacteria and microalgae/cyanobacteria for organic pollutant degradation. It has been seen that algae and their artificial symbiosis with pollutant-degrading bacteria possess some advantages in the soil bioremediation. Furthermore, development of formulated enzymes from algae and/or bacteria-rather than whole cells-as effective agents for bioremediation will be a novel option in this field.
