Description Bioremediation refers to cost-effective and
environment-friendly method for converting the toxic,
recalcitrant pollutants into environmentally benign products
through the action of various biological treatments.
Fungi play a major role in bioremediation owing to their
robust morphology and diverse metabolic capacity. The
review focuses on different fungal groups from a variety of
habitats with their role in bioremediation of different toxic
and recalcitrant compounds; persistent organic pollutants,
textile dyes, effluents from textile, bleached kraft pulp,
leather tanning industries, petroleum, polyaromatic hydrocarbons,
pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and
pesticides. Bioremediation of toxic organics by fungi is the
most sustainable and green route for cleanup of contaminated
sites and we discuss the multiple modes employed by
fungi for detoxification of different toxic and recalcitrant
compounds including prominent fungal enzymes viz.,
catalases, laccases, peroxidases and cyrochrome P450
monooxygeneses. We have also discussed the recent
advances in enzyme engineering and genomics and
research being carried out to trace the less understood
bioremediation pathways.
