Normally the point of filters is to remove bacteria. I can understand the desire to use certain bacteria that are capable of degrading polutants of many types but, even in systems where that happens as in wastewater treatment there are multiple chemical and physical treatments that happen prior to returning the water to our faucets.
The only space shot idea on the fly I can think of is fungal mycelial networks that are non spurolating, so think Oysters, that create a natural membrane with pore sizes small enough to trap bacterial cells.
Many companies have already put oyster mycelia to work in construction and packing materials.
You could conduct an experiment quite easily. Grow disks or mats of mycelial, dry them out, plug them into some vessel, and filter water through it.
You could use an electron microscope to clarify pore size or just do CFU solutions to see if the natural filter does anything at all to trap bacteria.
Can you clarify whether you are just trying to degrade chemical pollutants or what your goal is?

--Hello everyone,I have to make a biofilter that consists of bacteria to produce drinkable water. And my question is, is this possible?
And if so, does someone know how I can make it?Thanks for your attention. I'm looking forward to your reply,Fatima
