Investigating the degrading properties of three different strains of fungi on commonly used pesticides in Guyana

Abstract: Fareed R, Ansari A, Seecharran D, Munroe L. 2017. Investigating the degrading properties of three different strains of fungi on commonly used pesticides in Guyana. Biofarmasi (Rumphius J Nat Prod Biochem) 15: 5-14. Bioremediation is the use of microbes to remove various contaminants from the environment. The present research work was carried out during 2014-15. Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium spp. were employed for biodegradation of pesticides commonly used in Guyana. Initially, the fungi… Show more

“…On the other hand, fungi, such as Anisoplia bassiana , could degrade 72% of chlorpyrifos within 132 h ( Shah et al, 2017 ). The degradation rate was only 35.3% when cultured in medium containing diazinon for 4 days ( Fareed et al, 2017 ). Ehrampoush et al (2017) found that Saccharomyces cerevisiae could use diazinon (initial concentration of 1000 mg/L) as its carbon source.…”

“…Emerging environmental issues such as copper and dye contamination necessitate the discovery and development of new technologies and solutions. Bioremediation, defined as the biological process of degrading excess organic matter found in natural surroundings, has been regarded as an ecofriendly and cost-effective solution in cleaning up contaminated environmental sites (Fareed et al 2017). Bioremediation employs living organisms as remediation agents to degrade pollutants into less toxic forms using the cells' metabolism.…”

“…One of the ways to overcome pollution is by involving biological agents, namely biodegradation. Biodegradation is the decomposition or overhaul of organic compounds by utilizing microorganisms (Yudono et al 2013;Fareed et al 2017). Indigenous microorganisms that are petrophilic can degrade components from simple hydrocarbons by bacteria (Novianty et al 2020a) and fungi (Sari et al 2019) to PAHs which is more complex.…”
