AB  - Bacteria immobilization on biochar is a promising approach to achieve high 
      concentration and stability of microbial cells for several applications. The 
      present review addressed the techniques utilized for bacteria immobilization on 
      biochar, discussing the mechanisms involved in this process, as well as the 
      further utilization in bioremediation and agriculture. This article presents 
      three immobilization techniques, which vary according to their procedures and 
      conditions, including cell growth, adsorption, and adaptation. The mechanisms for 
      cell immobilization are primarily adsorption and biofilm formation on biochar. 
      The favorable characteristics of biochar immobilization depend on the pyrolysis 
      methods, raw materials, and properties of biochar, such as surface area, pore 
      size, pH, zeta potential, hydrophobicity, functional groups, and nutrients. 
      Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and colony forming unit (CFU) are the analyses 
      commonly carried out to verify the efficiency of bacteria immobilization. The 
      benefits of applying biochar-immobilized bacteria include soil decontamination 
      and quality improvement, which can improve plant growth and crop yield. 
      Therefore, this emerging technology represents a promising solution for 
      environmental and agricultural purposes. However, it is important to evaluate the 
      potential adverse impacts on native microbiota by introducing exogenous 
      microorganisms.
