Abstract
Highlights • Catastrophe of heavy metal pollution in environment is discussed in terms of remediation through bacterial Exopolysaccharide.• Biosynthesis of polymer, mechanism of action and metal remediation through polymer has been expounded deeply.• Wide range of bacterial cells and their EPS in diverse forms have been critically analyzed.• Challenges that still lie in the path of commercialization has been scrutinized.
