“…M. robertsii and M. brunneum showed the highest activity in cultures after 24 h incubation with the compound, with more than 90% loss of substrate (Ró _ zalska et al 2013). The extracts of M. robertsii culture showed 35 derivatives that were formed after the degradation of this xenobiotic (Ró _ zalska et al 2015;Nowak et al 2019). The proposed degradation pathway indicates that the fungi of the genus Metarhizium have unique capabilities to perform numerous, simultaneous mono-and dihydroxylation reactions both in the aliphatic chain and the 4-n-NP aromatic ring (Nowak et al 2019).…”

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are microorganisms that cause fatal diseases of arthropods. The infection process involves several stages that consist of direct contact of the fungus with the surface of the cuticle of the attacked insect. The factors that determine the effectiveness of the infection process include lytic enzymes, secondary metabolites, and adhesins produced by EPF. Because of their high insecticidal effectiveness, these fungi are commonly used as biopesticides in organic farming. As the environment and farmlands are contaminated with many compounds of anthropogenic origin (e.g., pesticides), the effects of these toxic compounds on EPF and the mechanisms that affect their survival in such a toxic environment have been studied in recent years. This review presents information on the capacity of EPF to remove toxic contaminants, including alkylphenols, organotin compounds, synthetic estrogens, pesticides and hydrocarbons. Moreover, these fungi produce numerous secondary metabolites that can be potentially used in medicine or as antimicrobial agents. Despite their huge potential in biocontrol processes, the use of EPF has been underestimated due to a lack of knowledge on their abilities. In our work, we have presented the available data on the possibilities of the additional and unconventional use of these microorganisms.

“…The BOD 5 values of 400 and 300 mg L -1 O 2 (for L1 and L2, respectively) suggest that both leachates can be easily biodegradable. However, the high content of chlorides and iron may limit the ability of fungal degradation 31 . Additionally, the amount of volatile phenols was 3–4 times higher than the limit value.…”

Textile industry effluents and landfill leachate contain chemicals such as dyes, heavy metals and aromatic amines characterized by their mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity. The aim of the present study was investigation of the ascomycete fungus N. pironii isolated from urban postindustrial textile green space for its ability to grow and retain metabolic activity in the presence of the dye industry waste. Research focused mainly on dyes, heavy metals and aromatic amines, which had been detected in landfill leachate via HPLC–MS/MS analysis. Presence of all tested compounds as well as leachate in the growth medium clearly favored the growth of fungal biomass. Only slight growth limitation was observed in the presence of 50 mg L-1o-tolidine. The fungus eliminated o-tolidine as well as dyes at all tested concentrations. The presence of metals slightly influenced the decolorization of the azo dyes; however, it was still similar to 90%. During fungal growth, o-tolidine was hydroxylated and/or converted to toluidine and its derivatives. Laccase and cytochrome P450 involvement in this process has been revealed. The results presented in the paper provide a valuable background for the development of a fungus-based system for the elimination of toxic pollutants generated by the textile industry.

“…The cultures were maintained on ZT agar slants for 14 days and were inoculated in 20 mL Sabouraud medium (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) in 100 mL Erlenmeyer flasks. After 1 d of incubation, the precultures were transferred to a fresh minimal medium at a ratio of 1:9 (Różalska et al, 2015a). The concentration of 4-n-NP in the culture medium was 50 mg L −1 .…”
