Abstract

This review article provides useful information for understanding the role of plants, animals and microorganism in the pollutants removal. The current literature is collected and organize to provide and insight into the specific roles of microorganisms toward plants and pollutants. Water hyacinth removes arsenic from arsenic contaminated drinking water, Peace Lily remove dangerous effects of toluene, xylene and benzene. The algae adsorbing heavy toxic metals. Microorganisms used for converting alkene into alkene oxide by the process known as bioaugmentation.
