Bioremediation of Environmental Pollutants

Abstract

The anthropogenic activities and other unintentional causes have imposed a strain on the ecosystem and natural resources. Bioremediation is a rapidly emerging field of science that deals with eco-friendly methods and approaches to clean such environmental pollutants. Both natural resources and inorganic contaminants including radioactive compounds may be transformed or detoxified by microorganisms. Fungi are an important candidate in bioremediation studies. They play a significant role in environmental cleaning through their versatile metabolic and enzymatic activities. Their biomass comprises a high proportion of cell wall materials with good metal-binding characteristics. Because of their negatively charged cell walls, they can serve as a cation exchanger in the metal-contaminated sites. Furthermore, fungal biomasses act as biosorption materials and therefore, have higher practical utility in wastewater treatment plants. In this regard, the present chapter highlights the significance of fungal-based bioremediation approaches for making the environment clean and sustainable.
