Microbial synergies in phytoremediation: A comprehensive review
Not relevant to microplastics — this is a review of how soil microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) assist plants in removing pollutants like heavy metals and hydrocarbons through phytoremediation; while the study addresses environmental contamination broadly, it does not examine microplastic pollution or its effects.
Potential strategies for bioremediation of microplastic contaminated soil
Researchers reviewed emerging bioremediation strategies for removing microplastics from contaminated soil, highlighting the roles of plants, root-zone microbes, soil animals like earthworms, and specialized bacteria and fungi that can use enzymes to break down plastic polymers into harmless compounds. While genetic engineering of microbes shows promise for accelerating degradation, the review notes that real-world application at scale still requires significant research and development.
Advancing Eco-Sustainable Bioremediation for Hydrocarbon Contaminants: Challenges and Solutions
This review covers eco-friendly methods for cleaning up hydrocarbon pollution in soil and water using bacteria, fungi, and microalgae. While focused on petroleum contaminants rather than microplastics, the bioremediation approaches discussed are relevant because microplastics can absorb and carry hydrocarbons, and cleaning up one pollutant can help address both. Understanding biological cleanup methods is important for reducing the overall toxic burden in environments where people live and grow food.
Bioremediation of Microplastics in Wastewater Treatment Plants: A Sustainable Approach
This review examines bioremediation as a sustainable strategy for removing microplastics from wastewater treatment plants, synthesizing knowledge on bacterial, fungal, algal, and enzymatic degradation pathways across different treatment stages.

Evaluation on the Biological Aspect of Plant, Contaminant Types and Application of Phytoremediation for Environmental and Economical Sustainability
This review assessed how different types of plants can be used to clean up environmental contaminants, including microplastics, from soil, water, and sediments. Researchers found that various plant species can effectively remove or stabilize pollutants through natural biological processes, and that newer technologies like genetic engineering and nanotechnology can further enhance these capabilities. The study suggests that plant-based remediation offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to addressing pollution while also supporting carbon sequestration and soil health.
Microalgae-based bioremediation of refractory pollutants: an approach towards environmental sustainability
This review examines how microalgae can be used to clean up hard-to-remove pollutants, including microplastics, from contaminated environments. The authors highlight that microalgae-based bioremediation is a sustainable, eco-friendly approach that could help address the growing problem of microplastic pollution in waterways.
Advancing bioremediation: biosurfactants as catalysts for sustainable remediation
This review examines how biosurfactants, natural cleaning agents produced by microorganisms, can help break down stubborn pollutants including microplastics. Unlike synthetic chemicals, biosurfactants are biodegradable and less toxic, making them a greener option for environmental cleanup. The research suggests these biological tools could play an important role in reducing microplastic contamination in soil and water, potentially lowering human exposure over time.
