Oxidizing bacteria in the roots of the plant has a unique ability of absorbing pollutants in the wastewater, thus they considered as a useful method for wastewater treatment. Using three plants, namely Typha, Phragmites australis, and Scirpus, we performed a series of mesocosms experiments in Arba Minch, Ethiopia for the removal of nutrients by constructed wetlands. We observed that the nutrients reached the removal efficiencies of 99.1% for Typha plant, has better removal efficiency than Phragmites australis and Scirpus. The results explore the oxidizing bacteria activity in different plants and that led to enhance the removal efficiency of pollutants in wastewater.
