“…The heavy metal accumulation ability of microorganisms such as bacteria ( Kumari et al, 2015 ; Narendrula-Kotha and Nkongolo, 2017 ), yeast ( Bahafid et al, 2017 ), algae ( Mehta and Gaur, 2005 ; Kipigroch et al, 2016 ; Bwapwa et al, 2017 ), and filamentous fungi ( Gadd, 1993 ; More et al, 2010 ; Liang and Gadd, 2017 ) has been studied broadly ( Figure 2 ). Their ability for heavy metal removal is relatively higher compared to the conventional non-biological industrial methods.…”

Copper (Cu) and Cobalt (Co) are among the most toxic heavy metals from mining and other industrial activities. Both are known to pose serious environmental concerns, particularly to water resources, if not properly treated. In recent years several filamentous fungal strains have been isolated, identified and assessed for their heavy metal biosorption capacity for potential application in bioremediation of Cu and Co wastes. Despite the growing interest in heavy metal removal by filamentous fungi, their exploitation faces numerous challenges such as finding suitable candidates for biosorption. Based on current findings, various strains of filamentous fungi have high metal uptake capacity, particularly for Cu and Co. Several works indicate that Trichoderma, Penicillium, and Aspergillus species have higher Cu and Co biosorption capacity compared to other fungal species such as Geotrichum, Monilia, and Fusarium. It is believed that far more fungal species with even higher biosorption capability are yet to be isolated. Furthermore, the application of filamentous fungi for bioremediation is considered environmentally friendly, highly effective, reliable, and affordable, due to their low technology pre-requisites. In this review, we highlight the capacity of various identified filamentous fungal isolates for biosorption of copper and cobalt from various environments, as well as their future prospects.

“…Industries involving mining, electroplating, dyeing, and tannery cause heavy metal pollutions and it is of great concern (Kapahi & Sachdeva, 2019; Shukla & Vankar, 2014). The heavy metal accumulation aptitude of microbes like filamentous fungi (Gadd, 1993; Liang & Gadd, 2017; More et al, 2010), yeast (Bahafid et al, 2017), bacteria (Kumari et al, 2015; Narendrula‐Kotha & Nkongolo, 2017), and algae (Bwapwa et al, 2017; Kipigroch et al, 2016; Mehta & Gaur, 2008) has been widely studied. In comparison to nonbiological conventional industrial methods, their abilities of heavy metal elimination are relatively greater.…”

In the present time of speedy developments and industrialization, heavy metals are being uncovered in aquatic environment and soil via refining, electroplating, processing, mining, metallurgical activities, dyeing and other several metallic and metal based industrial and synthetic activities. Heavy metals like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), Zinc (Zn), Cobalt (Co), Iron (Fe), and many other are considered as seriously noxious and toxic for the aquatic environment, human, and other aquatic lives and have damaging influences. Such heavy metals, which are very tough to be degraded, can be managed by reducing their potential through various processes like removal, precipitation, oxidation–reduction, bio‐sorption, recovery, bioaccumulation, bio‐mineralization etc. Microbes are known as talented bio‐agents for the heavy metals detoxification process and fungi are one of the cherished bio‐sources that show noteworthy aptitude of heavy metal sorption and metal tolerance. Thus, the main objective of the authors was to come with a comprehensive review having methodological insights on the novel and recent results in the field of mycoremediation of heavy metals. This review significantly assesses the potential talent of fungi in heavy metal detoxification and thus, in environmental restoration. Many reported works, methodologies and mechanistic sights have been evaluated to explore the fungal‐assisted heavy metal remediation. Herein, a compact and effectual discussion on the recent mycoremediation studies of organic pollutants like dyes, petroleum, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and pharmaceutical wastes have also been presented.
