Abstract

In recent years, many countries, especially after the increase in population and agricultural land, suffered from a freshwater shortage. This research obtained the positive role of using biotransformation processes to treat contaminated water and reuse it in agriculture. The results indicated that bioremediation of wastewater by using "bacterial consortium” has a positive effect on reducing some biological and non-biological pollutants. There was excellent potential to decrease pathogenic microbes. In addition, the release of some important compounds during the growth of these bacteria in the developing environments, such as some enzymes, amino acids (1.74-fold), organic acids (20.16-fold), gibbrillic acid (2.5-fold), indole acetic acid (1.8-fold), total carbohydrates (10.8-fold), total lipids (18.3-fold) and total phenols (1.68-fold) compared with control.
