“…Microbial degradation is an effective and efficient method for eliminating harmful compounds from the environment ( Abdel-Wareth and Abd El-Hamid, 2016 ). Bacteria and fungi are the main transformers, although only a few species have been shown to degrade the chemicals due to their complexity.…”

“…Bioremediation is a low-cost, environmentally friendly, and easy-to-use approach to eliminate CP from the soil and water ( Rayu et al., 2017 ). Previous studies have reported a few chlorpyrifos-degrading (CP-degrading) bacteria, including Pseudomonas sp ., Serratia , and Enterobacter, Alcaligenes, Sphingobacterium, Gordonia, Paracoccus, and Mesorhizobium ( Barathidasan et al., 2014 ; Abdel-Wareth and Abd El-Hamid, 2016 ; Rayu et al., 2017 ; Kumar et al., 2018a , b ; Akhdiya et al., 2020 ). The main products of CP degradation are 3, 5, 6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) diethyl thiophosphoric acid (DETP) ( Rayu et al., 2017 ).…”

“…Abdel-Wareth and Abd El-Hamid [ 61 ] tested the ability of Aspergillus viridinutans and Penicillium implicatum cultivated on potato dextrose broth media to degrade pesticides. A 14-day incubation of 2.5 mg·L −1 chlorpyrifos in fungal presence allowed 100% successful transformation, while abiotic control showed only 18% degradation efficiency.…”

The use of pesticides in agricultural practices raises concerns considering the toxic effects they generate in the environment; thus, their sustainable application in crop production remains a challenge. One of the frequently addressed issues regarding their application includes the development of a sustainable and ecofriendly approach for their degradation. Since the filamentous fungi can bioremediate various xenobiotics owing to their efficient and versatile enzymatic machinery, this review has addressed their performance in the biodegradation of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides. It is focused particularly on fungal strains belonging to the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium, since both are ubiquitous in the environment, and often abundant in soils contaminated with xenobiotics. Most of the recent reviews on microbial biodegradation of pesticides focus primarily on bacteria, and the soil filamentous fungi are mentioned only marginally there. Therefore, in this review, we have attempted to demonstrate and highlight the exceptional potential of aspergilli and penicillia in degrading the organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides (e.g., endosulfan, lindane, chlorpyrifos, and methyl parathion). These biologically active xenobiotics have been degraded by fungi into various metabolites efficaciously, or these are completely mineralized within a few days. Since they have demonstrated high rates of degradation activity, as well as high tolerance to pesticides, most of the Aspergillus and Penicillium species strains listed in this review are excellent candidates for the remediation of pesticide-contaminated soils.
