“…Enzymatic fungal-mediated biotransformation in turn, can be carried out by means of extracellular and intracellular enzymes. Extracellular enzymes catalyze variety of reactions (e.g., oxidative coupling products, hydroxylation, CO 2 emission, ether cleavage, aromatic ring fission, quinoid products formation and other) resulting in biotransformation of toxic compounds facilitating bioremediation processes ( Singh et al, 2021 ). The biodegradation is particularly committed for filamentous fungi since they can produce the extracellular non-specific lignin-modifying enzymes, laccases, manganese peroxidases, lignin peroxidase, dye decolorizing peroxidases, peroxygenases ( El-Gendi et al, 2022 ).…”

This review presents a comprehensive summary of the latest research in the field of bioremediation with filamentous fungi. The main focus is on the issue of recent progress in remediation of pharmaceutical compounds, heavy metal treatment and oil hydrocarbons mycoremediation that are usually insufficiently represented in other reviews. It encompasses a variety of cellular mechanisms involved in bioremediation used by filamentous fungi, including bio-adsorption, bio-surfactant production, bio-mineralization, bio-precipitation, as well as extracellular and intracellular enzymatic processes. Processes for wastewater treatment accomplished through physical, biological, and chemical processes are briefly described. The species diversity of filamentous fungi used in pollutant removal, including widely studied species of Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Verticillium, Phanerochaete and other species of Basidiomycota and Zygomycota are summarized. The removal efficiency of filamentous fungi and time of elimination of a wide variety of pollutant compounds and their easy handling make them excellent tools for the bioremediation of emerging contaminants. Various types of beneficial byproducts made by filamentous fungi, such as raw material for feed and food production, chitosan, ethanol, lignocellulolytic enzymes, organic acids, as well as nanoparticles, are discussed. Finally, challenges faced, future prospects, and how innovative technologies can be used to further exploit and enhance the abilities of fungi in wastewater remediation, are mentioned.

“…Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms like Pseudomonas, Alcanivorax, and Rhodococcus have been the subject of the credited study for the efficient utilization of hydrocarbon-derived hydrocarbons as carbon and energy sources and in facilitating the breakdown of complex hydrocarbon molecules into simpler compounds (Agbor, R. et al, 2021). The fungi genus Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Trichoderma are also powerful hydrocarbon degraders, and enzymes like lignin peroxidases, laccases, and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases help in carbon degradation in different environmental matrices (Singh, A., et al, 2021). Diversified ability of fungi to permeate substrates and emissions of diverse enzymes are the weak points of fungi in bioremediation work, especially in ecologies of nutrient-poor environments where bacteria are constrained (Tegene, B. G. 2020).…”

The biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons is a valuable process used to reduce the ecological influences of oil spills and pollution. This comprehensive review immerses readers in the sophisticated universe of oil-oxidizing organisms, the diversity and functionality of which are unveiled. By examining different bacterial groups, such as aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi, archaea, and algae, the study shows enzymatic and metabolic processes exploited during biodegradation. Environmental factors, substrate characteristics, and microbial interactions are the main determinants that contribute to the good performance of the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. The effectiveness of various biotechnological strategies like in-situ and ex-situ bioremediation, bioaugmentation, and bio stimulation is being tested to determine their ability to embrace the microbial capabilities for environmental restoration.

Ever since the start of the Industrial Revolution, environmental pollution has significantly increased. The prominent cause of most diseases in humans, animals, and plants is the presence of toxic materials, pollutants, contaminants, and hazardous compounds released by industries. One of the major factors is the presence of heavy metals in the air, water bodies and soil. Heavy metals have biomagnification and bioaccumulation characteristics, making them hazardous for flora and fauna on a large scale. Recently, biological sources such as bacteria, fungi, algae, etc., have been used to bioabsorb these heavy metals. The microbial properties of these cell walls are utilized for effective and low-cost absorption of metals. Bioaugmentation, biosorption and biostimulation are effective strategies for reducing the toxicity of hazardous contaminants in the soil and facilitating bioremediation. The mechanism of biosorption is mainly based on ions and functional groups present in the microbes. Fungal species are advantageous over bacteria as they are easier to handle, cost-effective and, most importantly, non-pathogenic, making them ideal candidates for biosorption. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various microbial strains utilized in bioremediation. Further, the review highlights the application of nanotechnology and metabolic engineering approaches to improve the efficacy of Biosorption, Biostimulation and Bioaugmentation. It provides insights on the role of microbial nanoparticles in bioremediation and prospects in the forte of microbe-assisted bioremediation.
