Although bioremediation is considered the most environmentally friendly and sustainable technique for remediating contaminated soil water, it effective when combined with physicochemical methods, which allow preliminary removal of large quantities pollutants. This allows microorganisms to efficiently eliminate remaining contaminants. In addition requiring necessary genes degradation pathways specific substrates, as well tolerance adverse environmental conditions, may perform below expectations. One typical reason this high toxicity xenobiotics present in concentrations, stemming from vulnerability bacteria introduced a site. especially true planktonic bacteria, whereas within biofilms or microcolonies have significant advantages over their counterparts. A physical matrix essential formation, maintenance, survival bacterial biofilms. By providing such immobilization, formation can be facilitated accelerated. Therefore, immobilization offers comprehensive solution cleanup by harnessing specialized metabolic activities while ensuring retention efficacy at target sites. many cases, also need methods that are otherwise required initially reduce contaminant concentrations. Then, will possible use remediation higher concentrations xenobiotics, significantly reducing costs maintaining rapid rate processes. review explores benefits highlighting materials processes developing an optimal matrix. It focuses on following four key areas: (i) types organic pollutants impacting human health, (ii) strains used processes, (iii) (iv) cells various carriers targeted pollutant degradation.
