Mycoremediation: A Sustainable Tool for Abating Environmental Pollution

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioremediation and Biotechnology

Abstract

The foremost environmental problems the world is facing nowadays is the degradation of physical environment by way of adding more and more toxic substances. Based on the scientific evaluations, microbes can neutralize the toxic chemicals into least toxic compounds. The origins where from (most contaminated regions) microbes have been extracted play a crucial role for decontamination of polluted affected sites effectively. Mycoremediation is an eco-friendly tool that can be applied for different types of contaminated environs. This system is based on enzymes produced by numerous fungi. There are plenty of fungi species (Pleurotus ostreatus, Aspergillus niger, Trametes hirsuta, etc.) having tremendous potential for degradation and remediation of toxic pollutants. However, till now, fungi have not been significantly exploited as remediation tool for restoration of contaminated sites. Therefore, the need of the hour is the thorough investigation of the use of fungi as mycoremediant.
