Abstract

The utilization of living organisms or simply bioremediation (microbial consortium) in the detoxification process and in the removal of toxic contaminants from oil spills and contaminated groundwater as well as pollutants and toxins from both biotic and abiotic environments is the most popular and sustainable approach. Biocatalysis using a wide range of microorganisms such as molds, bacteria, yeast, fungi, and algae is highly beneficial for wastewater treatment. Textile wastewater includes a broad range of dyes and compounds that can cause a variety of environmental problems. This article will tackle the role of different microorganisms, various strategies, and factors affecting the rates of bioremediation and detoxification and will also discuss the ex-situ and in-situ bioremediation processes.
