1 1. Bioremediation has several shortcomings. For instance, bioremediation depends a lot on the nature of the organism. Biodegradation of xenobiotics such as pesticide is not a benign response of the microorganism; on the contrary, it is a survival strategy. Most microorganisms carry out biodegradation under conditions which fulfils its necessities. Thus, certain modification of environment might be required to enable the organism to degrade pollutant in an efficient manner [75].

2 2. Low compatibility of the microalgal strain with the existing microflora and fauna can significantly affect the phycoremediation process.

3 3. Environmental factors such as pH, temperature, and salinity may influence the feasibility and success of the phycoremediation process.

4 4. Phycoremediation of pesticide is a slow process which makes its practical feasibility questionable.
