Mycoremediation
The text provides a detailed overview of how fungi, bacteria, and plants contribute to bioremediation, the process of using organisms to clean up contaminants in the environment. Fungi, in particular, are highlighted for their ability to break down various pollutants like hydrocarbons and pesticides into harmless molecules. Techniques such as mycoremediation (using fungi for remediation), bio-stimulation (activating native microorganisms), and mycofiltration (using fungi to filter water) are discussed as methods to facilitate environmental cleanup. The potential of fungi, including their tolerance to toxicity and ability to accumulate heavy metals, underscores their role in future environmental restoration efforts.
