“…Aquatic plants such as Pistia stratiotes, Lemna minor, Azolla filiculoides, Hydrilla verticillata, Azolla caroliniana, Spirodela polyrhiza, Salvinia cucullata, Lemna gibba, Azolla pinnata, Eichhornia crassipes and Typha domingensis has been used as bioaccumulator agents in recovering and recycling of wastewater . Pistia stratiotes is a free, noxious and stoloniferous herb with short stem found floating in stagnant shallow ponds (Pavithra and Kousar, 2016). Similarly, Pistia stratiotes aquatic plant was selected as the test plant in this research because it has the ability to enhance microbial activity, absorb nutrients and remove suspended solids (Fonkou et al, 2002).…”

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and cost-effective biotechnological method of wastewater treatment that involves the use of plants. In this research work, the potentials of Pistia stratiotes and Lemna minor aquatic plants in treatment of wastewater was examined. The two plants were cultivated in the wastewater sample for a period of 10 days. Water quality parameters (turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphate, ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrate) tests was subjected on the untreated (influent) and treated water (effluent) samples at a detention time of 24 hours. The outcome of the analysis demonstrates that P. stratiotes effluent achieved a reduction efficiency of up to 91.9%, 68%, 79.6%, and 71% for turbidity, phosphate, ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrate, respectively. Whereas for L. minor treated water samples, the highest reduction efficiency for turbidity, COD, phosphate, ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrate was found to be 87.2%, 46%, 48.7%, 83% and 56%, respectively. Hence, the overall outcome obtained indicate that P. stratiotes performed better in improving the quality of domestic wastewater compared to L. minor plants.

Background. Aquatic ecosystems are subjected to significant stress loads and depletion due to the influx of pollutants of inorganic and organic origin, that pose a serious threat to human health. The United Nations Environment Program has defined phytoremediation as an effective eco-technology for the removal, detoxification and immobilization of pollutants using plants. Water ferns of the Salviniaceae family belong to promising phytoremediants. They are characterized by high growth rates, resistance to adverse environmental factors, capable of adsorbing pollutants, including heavy metals. Species of the genus Salvinia and Azolla are used to assess the ecological state of water and study ecotoxicological effects of pollutants. Aim. Analysis and generalization of the latest scientific results on the use of species of the Salviniaceae family for phytoremediation and phytoindication of contaminated water. Results. In this review, we have highlighted key information on emerging phytotechnologies, including phytodegradation, phytostabilization, rhizofiltration, rhizodegradation, and phytovolatization. The growth and distribution features of species of the genus Salvinia and Azolla were described and current information on the use of water ferns for cleaning polluted water from heavy metals, inorganic and organic pollutants was presented. Data on the physiological and molecular mechanisms of the genus Salvinia and Azolla species adaptation to the toxic effect of pollutants of various origins were discussed. We focused special attention on the use of water ferns of the Salviniaceae family to control water pollution.
