“…The basidiomycetes, especially the white rot fungi (WRF), have dual characteristics, being not only proficient degraders of lignocellulosic biomass, but can also be active degraders of PAHs; this is in part due to the aromatic structural similarities between PAHs and lignin (Memić et al, 2020). Several species of WRF have been reported to efficiently degrade and mineralise PAHs, especially those of the genera Trametes, Bjerkandera, Phanerochaete, Irpex and Pleurotus, as well as the hyphomycetes Penicillium and Aspergillus (Quintella et al, 2019;Gao et al, 2010).…”

“…Indeed, microorganisms naturally present in soils are able to degrade PAHs, either by metabolism (direct consumption by microorganisms) or by cometabolism (indirect degradation). It is generally admitted that bacteria are able to degrade low molecular weight (LMW) PAHs [15,16], while fungi are more suitable to degrade high molecular weight (HMW) PAHs (>4 aromatic rings) by extracellular enzymatic activities [17][18][19][20]. Consequently, the presence of both bacteria and fungi shows better degradation results [21].…”

The aim of this study was to understand the role of indigenous soil microbial communities on the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and to determine whether PAHs degradation potential in soils may be evaluated by analysis of bacterial diversity and potential metabolisms using a metagenomics approach. Five different soils were artificially contaminated with seven selected PAHs and the most abundant bacterial taxa were assessed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene, and linking them to PAH biodegradation efficiencies. A PICRUSt approach was then led to estimate the degradation potentials by metagenomics inference. Although the role of bacteria in PAHs degradation is not directly established here, the presence of a large number of bacteria belonging to the Betaproteobacteria class correlated to a higher degradation of LMW PAHs. A link with specific bacterial taxa was more difficult to establish concerning HMW PAHs, which seemed to require more complex mechanisms as shown by PICRUSt.

Soil contaminated with hydrophobic organic hydrocarbons, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pose a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health. Moreover, the sorption and desorption of the PAHs, due to the interaction with the soil organic matter (SOM) and other contaminants, greatly affect the fate and mycoremediation efficiency of the contaminated soil. On the other hand, the application of surfactants with or without additives for the mobilization of PAHs from contaminated soil has garnered increasing attention for soil remediation. In this context, several commercial surfactants and biosurfactants were reported either as soil flushing agents or soil additives, followed by either in situ or ex situ mycoremediation of the PAHs from contaminated soil. Hence, for a successful implementation of surfactants for mycoremediation of contaminated soil, a comprehensive introspection on its chemistry and mechanism is necessary. Thus, this review focuses primarily on understanding the effect of surfactants and the mechanism of desorption of PAHs from the soil. This work also emphasizes the effect of surfactants on the efficiency of mycoremediation of contaminated soil. Further, the review summarizes various surfactant-assisted mycoremediation strategies of contaminated soil. Finally, the limitations of surfactant-assisted mycoremediation, precipitative, and partitioning loss, along with toxicity of the surfactants, were reviewed. Thus, this review will aid in understanding the underlying mechanism and efficiency of surfactant-assisted mycoremediation and it also proposes current research trends to improve the efficiency and enhance the bioremediation of PAHs-contaminated soil.
