Abstract

The article provides an overview devoted to wastewater treatment from nutrients and organic toxicants in Constructed Wetlands (CW). The analysis of the main microbiological processes of wastewater purification in these systems is made. It is shown that biological indicators and parameters of the plant, obtained by the molecular biological methods are the basis for the understanding and tracking of ongoing processes. Taxonomic and functional diversity of microorganisms in CW may be an indicator of the effectiveness of these treatment systems, including the effectiveness of xenobiotics removal.
