Rigorous research works are going on in the field of wastewater treatment. The recent research ofwastewater treatment by using microalgae is also proving more effective in removal of toxicity from wastewater.Microalgae have developed an extensive spectrum of mechanisms (extracellular and intracellular) to cope with heavymetal toxicity. Their wide-spread occurrence along with their ability to grow and concentrate heavy metals, ascertainstheir suitability in practical applications of waste-water bioremediation. Heavy metal uptake by microalgae is affirmedto be superior to the prevalent physicochemical processes employed in the removal of toxic heavy metals. This reviewsummarizes several areas of heavy metal remediation from a microalgal perspective and provides an overview of variouspractical avenues of this technology. It particularly details heavy metals and microalgae which have been extensivelystudied, and provides a schematic representation of the mechanisms of heavy metal remediation in microalgae.
