“…In particular, the ns *** "mycoremediation" potential to stabilise trace elements in fungal tissues can be considered as another ecosystem service. Thus, fungal mycelium secretes extracellular enzymes and acids to break down organic contaminants and has a high metal-binding capacity playing a promising role in remediation of trace elements 42 . However, from fungal mycelium, trace elements could be channelled to fruiting bodies implying a nutritional potential hazard due to mushroom consumption 42 .…”

However, from fungal mycelium, trace elements could be channelled to fruiting bodies implying a nutritional potential hazard due to mushroom consumption 42 . Fruiting bodies (mushrooms) of more than 1100 fungal species are used worldwide for food and medicines, thus delivering provision and cultural services 43 .…”

“…Other trace elements with remarkable soil to fungus transfer were Zn (78 times more in Volvopluteus gloiocephalus) and Fe (48 times more in Laccaria laccata). If we assume that sporocarps are reflecting mycelium chemical composition, we can infer that both fungal species are contributing potentially to the "mycostabilisation" of Cd, Cu, Zn and Fe in these contaminated and remediated soils 37,42 .…”

fungi play a key role in the functioning of soil in terrestrial ecosystems, and in particular in the remediation of degraded soils. the contribution of fungi to carbon and nutrient cycles, along with their capability to mobilise soil trace elements, is well-known. However, the importance of life history strategy for these functions has not yet been thoroughly studied. this study explored the soil-fungi relationship of two wild edible fungi, the ectomycorrhizal Laccaria laccata and the saprotroph Volvopluteus gloiocephalus. fruiting bodies and surrounding soils in a mine-spill contaminated area were analysed. isotope analyses revealed Laccaria laccata fruiting bodies were 15 n-enriched when compared to Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, likely due to the transfer of 15 n-depleted compounds to their host plant. Moreover, Laccaria laccata fruiting bodies δ 13 c values were closer to host plant values than surrounding soil, while Volvopluteus gloiocephalus matched the δ 13 c composition to that of the soil. fungal species presented high bioaccumulation and concentrations of cd and cu in their fruiting bodies.

“…The success of bio-augmentation depends upon various biotic and abiotic factors, most importantly, the microbial strain [ 94 ] that should have extra-ordinary plastic biodegradation potential. Moreover, various edaphic factors like temperature, moisture, pH, osmotic pressure, nutrient availability in the environment, have a magnificent impact on the survival, fitness, and activity of microbes [ 21 ]. That’s way, microbial communities with wider environmental adaptability and higher affinity for diverse polymers and hydrocarbons are most commonly preferred [ 95 ].…”

: Since the last few decades, the promiscuous and uncontrolled use of plastics leads to the accumulation of millions of tons of plastic waste in the terrestrial and marine environment and elevated the risk of environmental pollution and climate change. The concern arises more due to the reckless and unscientific disposal of plastics containing high molecular weight polymers, viz., polystyrene, polyamide, polyvinylchloride, polypropylene, polyurethane, and polyethylene, etc. which are very difficult to degrade. Thus, the focus is now paid to search for efficient, eco-friendly, low-cost waste management technology. Of them, degradation of non-degradable synthetic polymer using diverse microbial agents, viz., bacteria, fungi, and other extremophiles become an emerging option. So far, very few microbial agents and their secreted enzymes have been identified and characterized for plastic degradation, but with low efficiency. It might be due to the predominance of uncultured microbial species; consequently remain unexplored from the respective plastic degrading milieu. To overcome this problem, metagenomic analysis of microbial population engaged in the plastic biodegradation is advisable to decipher the microbial community structure and to predict their biodegradation potential in situ. Advancements in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics analysis allow the rapid metagenome screening that helps in the identification of total microbial community and also opens up the scope for mining genes or enzymes (hydrolases, laccase, etc.) engaged in polymer degradation. Further, the extraction of the core microbial population and their adaptation, fitness, and survivability can also be deciphered through comparative metagenomic study. It will help to engineer the microbial community and their metabolic activity to speed up the degradation process.
