Diatom microalgae as smart nanocontainers for biosensing wastewater pollutants: Recent trends and innovations

Microalgae have been recognized as one of the most efficient microorganisms to remediate industrial effluents. Among microalgae diatoms are silica shelled unicellular eukaryotes, found in all types of water bodies and flourish very well even in wastewater. They have their silica cell wall made up of...

Diatom microalgae as smart nanocontainers for biosensing wastewater pollutants: Recent trends and innovations
description Microalgae have been recognized as one of the most efficient microorganisms to remediate industrial effluents. Among microalgae diatoms are silica shelled unicellular eukaryotes, found in all types of water bodies and flourish very well even in wastewater. They have their silica cell wall made up of nano arrayed pores arranged in a similar fashion. Therefore, they act as smart nanocontainers to adsorb various trace metals, dyes, polymers and drugs which are hazardous to human as well to aquatic life. The beautiful nanoarchitecture in diatoms allows them to easily bind to ligands of choice to form a nanocomposite structure with the pollutants. Such naturally available nanomaterials are economical and highly sensitive compared to manmade artificial silica nanotubes to easily remove the toxic pollutants from wastewater. This review is focused on employing diatom microalgae to remediate various pollutants such as heavy metals, dyes, hydrocarbons detected in the wastewater. It also includes different microalgae as biosensors for determination of pollutants in effluents and the perspectives for nanotechnological applications in the field of remediating pollutants through microalgae.
