| contents | Bioconvection, a phenomenon arising from the collective motion of motile microorganisms, plays a crucial role in shaping microbial distributions, fluid dynamics, and bloom formation in aquatic environments. While extensive research has explored bioconvection in open waters, a significant proportion of microbial life exists within porous habitats, including soils, sediments, and subsurface environments, where the interplay between microbial motility and structural heterogeneity remains less understood. This review synthesizes recent advancements in the study of bioconvective dynamics within porous media, emphasizing the impacts of various external parameters on microbial transport, and spatial organization in structured environments. Additionally, we explore the various scenarios where bloom formation interacts with porous ecosystems. We further discuss the implications of microbial interactions with porous substrates for bioremediation, health management, and industrial applications. A dedicated section explores genetic engineering approaches aimed at modulating microbial motility and growth characteristics to enhance bioconvective behaviour and bloom regulation. By integrating experimental, numerical, and theoretical insights, this review highlights key knowledge gaps and outlines future research directions toward a deeper understanding of microbial transport and bioconvection in porous systems, with potential applications in environmental sustainability and biotechnology. |
