Pesticide bioremediation by Trametes versicolor: Application in a fixed-bed reactor, sorption contribution and bioregeneration

Fungal bioremediation of agricultural wastewater in a long-term treatment: biomass stabilization by immobilization strategy

“…A mycelial suspension of T. versicolor was prepared as previously described elsewhere (Blánquez et al, 2004). T. versicolor immobilized on Q. ilex wood chips was prepared as described by Beltrán-Flores et al (2021).…”

“…Both pesticides, diuron and bentazon, were extracted from wood following a modified method of Köck-Schulmeyer et al (2013) as previously done in another study (Beltrán-Flores et al, 2021). Ergosterol content was monitored to quantify fungal biomass.…”

Fungal assisted bio‐treatment of environmental pollutants with comprehensive emphasis on noxious heavy metals: Recent updates

“…Subsequently, in a biopile‐like system, T. versicolor successfully bio‐regenerated the pesticide polluted wood. There was high fungal colonization (up to 0.2451 mg ergosterol·g −1 dry weight), degradation yields (up to 92.50%) and degradation rate (up to 2.55 mg·g −1 ·d −1 ) (Beltrán‐Flores et al, 2021). Bokade et al (2021) reviewed the mycoremediation of chlorinated pesticides and critically discussed the fungal mediated organochlorine biotransformation process along with the discussion on the role of enzymatic system in biotransformation.…”

“…The 3,5‐dichloroaniline, hydroxyatrazine, and 3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridinol were generated as pesticide metabolites and small accumulation of 3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridinol was detected (Levio‐Raiman et al, 2021). Removal of two pesticides diuron and bentazon, from real agricultural wastewater by the use of Trametes versicolor immobilized on Quercus ilex wood chips was initially proposed (Beltrán‐Flores et al, 2021). Results motivated them to assess the pollutant sorption capacity of wood through a comprehensive study.…”

Aplicaciones biotecnológicas de la degradación bioquímica de madera por acción de hongos Xilófagos: pudrición parda y blanca

“…La especie Trametes versicolor se reconoce por su considerable poder de degradación de herbicidas. [39] Beltrán-Flores y colaboradores (2021), demostraron que al inmovilizarlo en madera de Quercus ilex degradó pesticidas como el diurón y el bentazón con un rendimiento del 93% y 90% respectivamente. Otro estudio, reportó la remoción del 94% del diurón en aguas agrícolas de desecho mediada por T. versicolor inmovilizado en astillas de pino [40].…”
