“…Characteristics of plants that contribute to phytoremediation encompass tolerance to potentially toxic metals (PTMs), swift growth rate, ability to accumulate PTMs in their aboveground biomass, robust and extensive root systems, as well as high bioconcentration and translocation factors (Mehmood et al 2022). Phytoremediation involves employing plants to eliminate a broad spectrum of pollutants, such as hydrocarbons, alkanes, phenols, polychlorinated solvents, pesticides, chloroacetamides, explosives, trace elements, toxic heavy metals, metalloids, and landfill leachates.…”

“…Plants can be integrated into constructed wetlands or wastewater treatment ponds to enhance the removal of P from municipal and industrial wastewater. Phosphate uptake by plants and the subsequent use of plant biomass for biogas production is an interesting and sustainable approach that can contribute to both nutrient removal and renewable energy generation (Bunce et al 2018, Mehmood et al 2022.…”

Indonesia is renowned as an agricultural powerhouse, ranking first globally in oil palm production. This prominence in agriculture leads to the consistent generation of agro-industrial waste, notably Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). Effectively addressing these waste concerns is important due to their adverse impacts on aquatic ecosystems and the nation's health and economy. Anthropogenic wastewater with excessive phosphorus content can trigger eutrophication and toxic algal blooms, posing environmental risks and potentially precipitating a future clean water crisis. Thus, a comprehensive approach is necessary to restore the environment and biogeochemical cycles. Treatment efforts involving bioremediation agents aim to recycle organic and inorganic pollutants in the environment. Photosynthetic organisms like plants and microalgae serve as effective bioremediation agents, capable of absorbing excess phosphorus. They can utilize phosphate as an energy source to boost biomass. Integrating these bioremediation agents with bioengineering technology optimizes the treatment efficacy while simultaneously producing valuable biomass for products and bioenergy. This review article explores photosynthetic organisms' multifunctional role as phosphorus bioremediation agents for wastewater treatment, minimizing environmental pollutant impacts, and providing biomass for fertilizers, polymers, bioplastics, and renewable energy. Furthermore, this study unveils opportunities for future technological advancements in this field.
