In this paper, we propose a new bioremediation approach that extensively uses algae's beneficial properties. Green infrastructure is eco-friendlier and more sustainable than older wastewater treatment methods that use various microorganisms. Using microorganisms like algae and cyanobacteria, bioremediation technology is a novel and promising approach to effectively removing a wide range of organic pollutants. The extensive presence of organic contaminants in aquatic habitats poses a potential threat to a variety of marine creatures. Organic pollutants pose a worldwide threat to aquatic ecosystems because they are dispersed widely as a consequence of human activities such as farming, industry, and waste disposal. It is illegal to dump raw sewage into waterways without first treating it. Algae-based wastewater treatment systems are gaining popularity since they are efficient, safe, and create no harmful byproducts. The amount of organic contaminants that different species of algae and cyanobacteria absorb and retain in their tissues may be affected by the physicochemical properties of the wastewater in which they are cultured. Phytoremediation has a favorable impact on the environment and may save money when compared to traditional treatments for organic pollutant degradation. The phytoremediation-recovered algal biomass may have far-reaching effects on the bioenergy supply chain. This article explores the literature on the degradation of organic contaminants by microalgae and cyanobacteria.
