摘要：Hasty industrialization is leading to the use of large quantities and varieties of synthetic chemicals,which are considered to be xenobiotic and subsidize to environmental pollution. Two important methods to pull out thepollutants are physical and chemical method. Unlike physicochemical methods, biological degradation is a naturalprocess in which microorganisms make use of organic pollutants for its growth and other cellular processes; is termedas bioremediation. Bioremediation has been recognized as a prudent and effective treatment for these contaminations.Exo-polysaccharides from Nostoc species can act as a good flocculant compared with the commercial flocculants. Thisreview would give the reader a better perceptive and familiarity about the EPS and the usage as an emulsifier inpharmaceutical industry.
