“…[62]. Another species, A. foetidus isolated from a wastewater treatment plant was found to be tolerant to high concentrations of lead (Pb) up to 200 mg/L which was removed through biosorption [81] as was also observed in bioremediation of aqueous substrates containing mercury (II) by A. flavus strain which was able to remove about 98 % mercury in presence of 10 mg/L mercury in the medium [82]. Mumtaz et al [83] demonstrated the potential of fungi like Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Penicillium and Curvularia for bioremediation of uranium contaminated soils which was attributed to their uranium binding ability.…”

“…Basic and acid dyes are the most toxic for aquatic organisms including algae and fishes and have the tendency to pass through food chain and ultimately reach human body resulting in various Kurniati et al [82] physiological disorders [73,74]. White-rot fungi are extensively studied for their variable degradative capacities [14] which have been exploited to achieve optimum dye degradation in co-culture or sequential degradation studies.…”

Diverse Metabolic Capacities of Fungi for Bioremediation

Bioremediation refers to cost-effective and environment-friendly method for converting the toxic, recalcitrant pollutants into environmentally benign products through the action of various biological treatments. Fungi play a major role in bioremediation owing to their robust morphology and diverse metabolic capacity. The review focuses on different fungal groups from a variety of habitats with their role in bioremediation of different toxic and recalcitrant compounds; persistent organic pollutants, textile dyes, effluents from textile, bleached kraft pulp, leather tanning industries, petroleum, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and pesticides. Bioremediation of toxic organics by fungi is the most sustainable and green route for cleanup of contaminated sites and we discuss the multiple modes employed by fungi for detoxification of different toxic and recalcitrant compounds including prominent fungal enzymes viz., catalases, laccases, peroxidases and cyrochrome P450 monooxygeneses. We have also discussed the recent advances in enzyme engineering and genomics and research being carried out to trace the less understood bioremediation pathways.

“…De acuerdo al comportamiento observado, se evidencia un aumento en el crecimiento de microorganismos en suelo tratado, estos efectos se deben a la simbiosis que se produce entre las lombrices y los microorganismos del medio, tanto los que estaban en el suelo cuando se inició el proceso como las nuevas colonias registradas, evidenciándose una interacción lombrices-microorganismos [18,39].…”

<p>Dentro de las actividades que alteran la composición del suelo está la minería, que causa el aumento de daños visibles al suelo mediante la creación de minas a cielo abierto, escombreras, estanques de residuos y otras instalaciones de minas. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la lombriz roja californiana sobre el crecimiento de microorganismos en suelos contaminados con mercurio en el municipio de Segovia, Antioquia. Estos suelos representan una problemática importante debido a la acumulación de mercurio en exceso que ocasiona la pérdida de la calidad del suelo. Para este estudio se tomaron cuatro tratamientos en diferentes concentraciones de mercurio y un tratamiento más como blanco con lombrices rojas californianas <em>(Eisenia foetida). </em>Para esto, se evaluó el crecimiento de microorganismos a través de diferentes cultivos en el laboratorio, encontrando un crecimiento satisfactorio de los mismos luego de 25 y 90 días de tratamiento. De acuerdo al comportamiento observado, se evidencia una inmovilización del mercurio y una adaptación de los microorganismos al suelo contaminado, mostrando un aumento significativo de estos con el transcurso del tiempo.</p>

“…The discovery of filamentous fungi activity in bioremediation of soil has prompted more studies of other naturally occurring soil filamentous fungi for bioremediation properties. One example of such is a study by Kurniati et al [85] whereby filamentous fungi were investigated for reducing mercury in soil. These micro-organisms have also made positive impacts in their use as biocontrol agents against microbes and harmful compounds in plants and crops [89] [90] [99].…”

Filamentous fungi are found in different habitats in the environment including, air, water and soil. This group of fungi contains organisms from different classes under the sub-phylum Pezizomycotina. They occur in mixtures such that you find many genera of filamentous fungi dominating a particular habitat or substrate. The wide distribution of filamentous fungi has resulted in it being used for different purposes. This review aims to analyse the different genera of fungi species referred to as filamentous fungi and their relevance economically and medically.
