“…Microorganism immobilization has been used to address various pollution issues; for example, its use has been reported for the removal of nutrients [ 56 , 68 ], organic compounds [ 119 ], microplastics [ 4 ], p-nitrophenol [ 10 , 118 ], heavy metals [ 120 , 121 ], antibiotics [ 122 ], other pharmaceutical products [ 39 , 48 ], toxins [ 72 ], textile dyes [ 123 , 124 ], and petroleum [ 17 , 125 ], among others [ 25 ]. These studies have presented interesting results, suggesting the high efficiency of IMs in water treatment.…”

“…One approach currently being employed is using IMs in solid matrices [14,15]. These IMs include bacteria, fungi, and other microbes, which are bound or confined within solid support structures [16,17]. This unique configuration allows the microorganisms to remain in specific locations, carrying out their contaminant removal functions without the need to move freely through the aquatic environment [4,18].…”

In the quest for advanced and environmentally friendly solutions to address challenges in the field of wastewater treatment, the use of polymers such as sodium alginate (Na-Alg) in combination with immobilized microorganisms (IMs) stands out as a promising strategy. This study assesses the potential of Na-Alg in immobilizing microorganisms for wastewater treatment, emphasizing its effectiveness and relevance in environmental preservation through the use of IMs. Advances in IMs are examined, and the interactions between these microorganisms and Na-Alg as the immobilization support are highlighted. Additionally, models for studying the kinetic degradation of contaminants and the importance of oxygen supply to IMs are detailed. The combination of Na-Alg with IMs shows promise in the context of improving water quality, preserving ecological balance, and addressing climate change, but further research is required to overcome the identified challenges. Additional areas to explore are discussed, which are expected to contribute to the innovation of relevant systems.
