“…The reusability of biomaterial, the ability to detect very less concentrations of toxic metals in water, the high removal efficiency, no production of secondary compounds, low operating costs, and short operation times are some advantages of biosorption over other methods . Various biomaterials including plant biomass, agricultural waste, bacteria, fungi, and algae have been used to confiscate As from aqueous solutions . Other conventional methods described above have several technical and economical limitations due to which the biosorption process is gaining attention.…”

Arsenic contamination in water is a worldwide problem. It is spreading in the environment as a result of numerous natural and anthropogenic sources having a massive influence on health of human and ecological systems. In order to mitigate this problem, there are various conventional technologies available for the removal of arsenic like oxidation, coagulation and flocculation, ion exchange, and membrane processes. However, there are various limitations associated with these techniques such as high cost and generation of toxic byproducts due to which attention has been paid to biosorption in the past few years, as it is an eco‐friendly as well as cost‐effective technique. Arsenic biosorption by various low‐cost adsorbents and biosorbents such as activated carbons, algae, submerged plants, bacteria, fungi, plant, and fruit wastes have been surveyed and critically reviewed in this paper along with their sorption efficiencies. Furthermore, the nonlinear models of adsorption dynamics and thermodynamic feasibility of arsenic biosorption together with detailed analysis of biological mechanisms of arsenic ion uptake by bacteria, fungi and algae has been discussed in detail in the present work. Alternatives of disposal of arsenic loaded sludge obtained after the biosorption of arsenic has also been addressed.

“…Explorations into filamentous fungi such as Penicillum [ 92 , 95 ], Fusarium [ 93 ], Trichoderma [ 94 ], Humicola [ 96 ], and Aspergillus [ 93 , 95 ] showed notable resistance to high arsenic concentrations. Screening of As(V)-contaminated agricultural soil in India revealed that a strain of Penicillium coffeae can tolerate As(V) concentrations of up to 37,461 ppm in vitro [ 92 ]. The fungus was also able to tolerate the same concentration of As(V) under basic conditions, whether living, dead, or as treated biomass.…”

Throughout history, cases of arsenic poisoning have been reported worldwide, and the highly toxic effects of arsenic to humans, plants, and animals are well documented. Continued anthropogenic activities related to arsenic contamination in soil and water, as well as its persistency and lethality, have allowed arsenic to remain a pollutant of high interest and concern. Constant scrutiny has eventually resulted in new and better techniques to mitigate it. Among these, microbial remediation has emerged as one of the most important due to its reliability, safety, and sustainability. Over the years, numerous microorganisms have been successfully shown to remove arsenic from various environmental matrices. This review provides an overview of the interactions between microorganisms and arsenic, the different mechanisms utilized by microorganisms to detoxify arsenic, as well as current trends in the field of microbial-based bioremediation of arsenic. While the potential of microbial bioremediation of arsenic is notable, further studies focusing on the field-scale applicability of this technology is warranted.

Bioremediation is well accepted technology for the removal of pollutants produced by the anthropogenic activities and rapid industrialization. Different innovative tools such as microbes could be employed for the bioremediation of toxicity in environment. The microbial based bioremediation is one of the most effective tools due to maximum output, cost-effectiveness, and non-toxic process. Microbes having capability to remediate, habors the different hot spots such as plant microbiomes (epiphytic, endophytic, and rhizospheric), and diverse extreme environments (psychrophilic, thermophilic, xerophilic, halophilic, acidophilic, and alkaliphilic). Microbes are known to degrade the different pollutants including azo dyes, heavy metals, agricultural wastes, pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Thus, utilization of microbes and their consortia is highly accepted and recommended technology for decontamination of environment is a prime concern on account of being eco-friendly, non-hazardous, safe, and costeffective. In the past two decades, there have been recent advances in bioremediation techniques with the ultimate goal to restore polluted environment for better survival of living beings and protecting the sanctity of nature. In the present review, the current scenario of microbial bioremediation of different pollutants is discussed along with factors affecting the bioremediation.
