Sažetak

Pharmaceutical active compounds (PACs) are under consideration due to their potential risk to human health and the ecosystem. Researchers are exploring economical and effective wastewater treatment methods to address these issues. Conventional wastewater treatment facilities cannot successfully remove PACs. The co-existence of several PACs and various microalgal species provides an opportunity for microalgae-based bioremediation of PACs.
This review paper focuses primarily on antibacterial resistance genes (ARGS), removal of PACs through microalgal systems, essential factors influencing PACs removal, ecotoxicity of microalgae, bioprospecting strategy for microalgae, and challenges and future aspects for microalgae in PACs removal.
