Fungi play irreplaceable roles for ecosystem functioning. They may adopt different lifestyles, example saprotrophs, symbionts or parasites: some species are cosmopolitan with a wide distribution and others, thanks to their ecological plasticity, adapt harsh environments precluded most of life forms. In stressing conditions, role is even more crucial the recycling organic matter favoring nutrients uptake. When conditions become really extreme competition low, fungi focus on extremotolerance...
Abstract Background Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are widespread toxic pollutants. Bioremediation might be an effective, cost competitive and environment-friendly solution for remediating environmental matrices contaminated by PCBs but it is still unsatisfactory, mostly the limited biodegradation potential of bacteria involved in processes. Very little known about mitosporic fungi PCB bioremediation their occurrence actual site historically soils. In present study, we characterised native...
Autochthonous fungi from contaminated wastewater are potential successful agents bioremediation thanks to their adaptation pollutant toxicity and competition with other microorganisms present in treatment plant. Biological by means of selected fungal strains could be a tool integrate the leachate depuration process, extracellular enzymes non-selective catalytical activity. In work, treatability two real samples (a crude landfill effluent coming traditional plant) was investigated...
Textile effluents are among the most difficult-to-treat wastewaters, due to their considerable amount of recalcitrant and toxic substances. Fungal biosorption is viewed as a valuable additional treatment for removing pollutants from textile wastewaters. In this study efficiency Cunninghamella elegans biomass in terms contaminants, COD toxicity reduction was tested against sampled different points wastewater plants. The results showed that C. promising candidate decolourisation detoxification...
Recalcitrant compounds limit the efficiency of conventional biological processes for wastewater treatment, representing one major issues in field. This study focused on treatment three effluents with White-Rot-Fungus (WRF) Bjerkandera adusta MUT 2295 batch tests, biomass cultivated attached form polyurethane foam cubes (PUFs) to test its removal target effluents’ recalcitrant fraction. Treatment B. was evaluated landfill leachate (Canada) and two solutions containing synthetic compounds,...
Abstract The kingdom Fungi comprises one of the most diverse groups living organisms. They are numerous, ubiquitous and undertake many roles both independently in association with other display a wide diversity forms also mirrored by functional play such dominant role human society that they arguably biotechnologically important group Ex situ conservation fungi, not only guarantees correct management biodiversity, but its exploitation different fields. This article describes major biological...
In the present study, autochthonous and allochthonous fungal strains were tested towards landfill leachate. The efficacy of treatment was monitored following decolourisation percentage, chemical oxygen demand toxicity. Among strains, Porostereum spadiceum showed best activity (40 % in one week). Fungal a complete spectrum action, being able also to significantly reduce wastewaters
