Managing Oxyanions in Aquasystems—Calling Microbes to Action

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Progress and Prospects in the Management of Oxyanion Polluted Aqua Systems

Part of the book series: Environmental Contamination Remediation and Management ((ENCRMA))

  • 401 Accesses

Abstract

Oxyanions are pollutants that pose health risks to humans, impact organisms negatively and can cause environmental hazard like eutrophication. Their removal from aqua systems is therefore expedient. Although conventional chemical and physical treatments exist and have been well-exploited, the biotreatment option is the way forward as they are eco-friendly, cheaper and less technical. There are available scientific studies on the use of biological agents for the removal of oxyanions from water which ranges from the use of plants through to organisms. However, a only a few of these studies focus on the use of microorganisms for oxyanion removal in water. This chapter, therefore, focuses on the use of microorganisms for the removal of oxyanions from water. It provides a collection of reports on the laboratory and field applications of microorganism removal of oxyanions in water either singly or as a consortium and highlights their successes and weaknesses. This chapter also gives a rare insight into genes responsible for arsenic-resistant bacteria that allows them to effectively accumulate arsenate and arsenite from aqua systems. We present future perspectives that will aid further research in this area of study.
