Abstract
The advances in nanotechnology have shown enormous impacts in environmental technology as a potent weapon for degradation of toxic organic pollutants and detoxification of heavy metals. It is either by in-situ or ex-situ adaptive strategies. Mycoremediation of environmental pollutants has been a success story of the past decade, by employing the wide arsenal of biological capabilities of fungi. Recently, the proficiency and uniqueness of yeast cell surface alterations have encouraged the generation of engineered yeast cells as dye degraders, heavy metal reduction and its recovery, and also as detoxifiers of various hazardous xenobiotic compounds. As a step forward, recent trends in research are towards developing biologically engineered living materials as potent, biocompatible and reusable hybrid nanomaterials. They include chitosan-yeast nanofibers, nanomats, nanopaper, biosilica hybrids, and TiO2-yeast nanocomposites. The nano-hybrid materials contribute significantly as supportive stabilizer, and entrappers, which enhances the biofabricated yeast cells’ functionality. This field serves as an eco-friendly cutting-edge cocktail research area. In this review, we highlight recent research on biofabricated yeast cells and yeast-based biofabricated molecules, as potent heavy metals, toxic chemical detoxifiers, and their probable mechanistic properties with future application perspectives.
