“…This demonstrates their sustainability as bioindicators of the environmental pollution. Therefore, they act as living promotors for fish by removing heavy metals and help in the survival of fish (Rolbiecki et al 2000;Schludermann et al 2003;Azmat et al 2006Azmat et al , 2008. …”

This study assessed the anisakid nematode distribution pattern in the fish collected from coasts of Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, during the period September 2010-April 2011. Two hundred thirty out of 300 (76.7%) Dicentrarchus labrax (European seabass) marine fishes belonging to family Moronidae were dissected and found to be infected with larva three nematodes. The larvae had been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. The present work represents the first record of the presence of the parasite in this fish in the Mediterranean Sea. The concentrations of some heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Fe, Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni) in parasites as well as in tissues of fish were measured. The presented results showed that the nematode parasites are able to accumulate heavy metals in their tissues and in some cases that they are able to accumulate large amounts of heavy metals in a higher amount than host tissues. This demonstrated their sustainability as bioindicators of environmental pollution by removing heavy metals and help in the survival of fish.

“…But the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus also has a positive role on the environment, namely as a heavy metal bioremediator agent. Based on research conducted by Shazia and Talat [2], the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus able to absorb lead (Pb) of 76.07 ppm, copper metal of 69.60 ppm and chromium (Cr) of 40.00 ppm in media mixed with various heavy metals with a metal concentration of 800 ppm.…”

“…The development of several industries in the upstream watershed of Tapak accompanied by not optimal management and uncontrolled waste disposal has resulted in pollution and decreased quality water [1]. Several industrial wastes, such as porcelain and ceramics industry, soap industry, textile industry, dying and painting process and furniture industry, have the potential to contain heavy metal compounds that need monitoring [2]. This is due to heavy metals in waters with relatively small sizes or levels can be toxic (poisonous) and can cause accumulation in the body of organisms [1].…”

The mangrove ecosystem in Tapak Village is one of the coastal areas in Tugu District, Semarang, Central Java and close to the industrial area. This mangrove ecosystem presumed to be contaminated by heavy metals. This study aims to analysis of lead heavy metal in Tapak, isolate fungi from mangrove sediments, and identify the potential fungus according to molecular approach. The sampling method used a purposive random sampling method with 4 sampling points. The isolation of fungi was carried out using the dilution method and then cultured on the general Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media. The purified isolates were tested its ability as a bioremediation agent of lead heavy metal (Pb) and were identified molecularly using ITS1 and ITS4 as universal primers. The results of the analysis of the Pb content in the sediment samples using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) ranged from 59.07-76.76mg/Kg, where these results exceeded the CCME (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment) quality standards, 2001, with Pb standards of 35mg/Kg. Based on the screening of fungal isolates on media supplemented with (Pb) of 70 ppm, a total 18 isolates were purified. There were 9 isolates with the fastest growth in observations for 7 days. One of the 9 fastest-growing isolates, MT.1.E, was identified molecularly using Internal Transcribe Spacer (ITS) region and the homology was closely related to Aspergillus fumigatus which has a 100% similarity. According to this study, fungi can be proposed as a bioremediation agent.
