Abstract
Although one of the major users of flocculants are water and wastewater treatment industries flocculants are also used in various food industries. The chemical flocculants are preferred widely in these industries due to low production cost and fast production ability. However the negative effects of the chemical flocculants should not be neglected to gain the economic benefits only. Therefore the researchers are working to discover efficient and economical flocculants from biological sources. Several attempts have been made and are still being made to extract or produce bioflocculants from natural sources such as plants bacteria fungi yeast algae etc. The review revealed that significant amount of work have been done in the past in search of bioflocculant. However commercially viable bioflocculants are yet to be marketed widely. With the advent of new biotechnologies and advances in genetic engineering the researchers are hopeful to discover or develop commercially viable safe and environmentfriendly bioflocculants.
