Article Synopsis
- The widespread presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment is a major concern due to their potential harmful effects on human health and wildlife.
- Research highlights the role of various microorganisms, including algae, bacteria, and fungi, in biodegrading pharmaceutical compounds, with new techniques like Bio Electrochemical Systems (BES) being explored for enhanced degradation in wastewater.
- Genetic modification of microbial strains is being evaluated to boost their degradation capabilities, while environmental factors such as temperature and pH may influence overall bioremediation efficiency, highlighting a need for further research in this area.
Microalgae cultivation is well known as a sustainable method for eco-friendly wastewater phycoremediation and valuable biomass production. This study investigates the feasibility and kinetic removal of organic compounds and nutrients from food processing wastewater (FPW) using sp. in an enclosed photobioreactor.

Microalga biomass has been recognized as a sustainable bio-product to replace terrestrial biomass in biofuel production. The microalga industry has high operating costs, specifically on harvesting and biomass recovery. Therefore, the development of an efficient harvesting method is crucial to the minimization of production cost.
