In the realm of environmental science, phytoremediation has emerged as a promising technique for the bioremediation of polluted soils. This process uses living plants to absorb, immobilize, or degrade pollutants from the environment. Among the various organisms used in phytoremediation,…
Soil contamination by pollutants has become a major environmental concern due to the detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems. Biodegradation is a natural process that can be harnessed for the mineralization of pollutants into less harmful compounds, thereby reducing…
Algae, a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms, have been gaining attention in recent years for their potential applications in various fields, including bioenergy production and bioremediation. Among these applications, the use of living or dead algae as biosorbents for the…
Algae, a diverse group of aquatic organisms, have been gaining attention for their ability to remove nutrients from water and soil, particularly in the context of nutrient-enriched soils resulting from agricultural runoff. These microscopic plants are known for their rapid…
Biodegradation is a natural process involving the breakdown of organic materials by microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and algae. This process can be harnessed for the remediation of contaminated soils, with algae playing a particularly important role in this context.…
Soil contamination is a significant environmental issue that poses a threat to ecosystems, human health, and agriculture. Among various remediation methods, the use of algae has gained increasing attention for its potential in soil reclamation projects. Algae can play a…
Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, are a group of photosynthetic bacteria that inhabit diverse environments, including soil, freshwater, and marine systems. They play crucial roles in various biogeochemical cycles and are known for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen into a…
Heavy metal-contaminated soils are a significant environmental concern due to their potential impact on human health and ecosystems. These contaminants can enter the food chain through plants, which can then be consumed by animals and humans. Soil remediation and reclamation…
Algae-based soil remediation has emerged as a promising and eco-friendly technique for addressing soil pollution caused by heavy metals, organic compounds, and other contaminants. This approach relies on the natural ability of algae to absorb and transform pollutants into less…
