Abstract
The
environment pollution or contamination is a serious problem, a great deal of
research is being undertaken to combat contaminants such as xenobiotic and
recalcitrant compounds, particularly heavy metals, dyes,phenolic compounds
and other recalcitrant pollutants produced by a wide range of industrial
activities. These compounds have an adverse impact on the environment,
particularly when generated by industrial processes and then disposed off
without adequate treatment. Mycoremediation is defined as the use of fungi
for bioremediation, especially degradation or retention of contaminants.
Biosorption and bioaccumulation are two of the mechanisms by which fungi
remove contaminants through mycelium. In many cases, these processes involve
metabolization and even mineralization of these contaminants, corresponding
to a biological contaminant removal system with great potential for use in
bioremediation processes.
The
present review describes the unique characteristics of fungal mycelium that
make it a biomaterial with potential applications in various fields of
biotechnology, specifically evaluating its biosorption/bioaccumulation
properties and potential application for the bioremediation of different
water-borne contaminants. This review focus on the researches conducted on
the bioremediation of inorganic and organic pollutants, the mechanisms
involved in the process, and the main environmental factors affecting it.
Moreover, kinetics and equilibrium modeling of the removal efficiency
achieved via biosorption/bioaccumulation is analyzed in order to better
understand these processes and overcome some of the technical barriers to
their large-scale application in the mycoremediation of wastewater.
Key words: Bioaccumulation, Biosorption, Fungi,
