Article Synopsis
- Remediation of hydrocarbon contamination is crucial to protect both land and aquatic environments, with filamentous fungi showing promise for breaking down these pollutants into non-toxic residues.
- The paper outlines three key strategies used by filamentous fungi for hydrocarbon remediation: utilizing hydrocarbons as energy sources, co-metabolism, and biosorption approaches.
- While fungi show great potential for efficient and eco-friendly cleanup methods, more research is needed to understand their interactions with humans and to assess any toxic effects before practical application.
