Bioremediation is an expanding area of environmental biotechnology,
and may be defined as the application of biological processes to
the treatment of pollution. Much bioremediation work has
concentrated on organic pollutants, although the range of
substances that can be transformed or detoxified by micro-organisms
includes both natural and synthetic organic materials and inorganic
pollutants, such as toxic metals. The majority of applications
developed to date involve bacteria and there is a distinct lack of
appreciation of the potential roles and involvement of fungi in
bioremediation, despite clear evidence of their metabolic and
morphological versatility. This book highlights the potential of
filamentous fungi, including mycorrhizas, in bioremediation and
discusses the physiology and chemistry of pollutant
transformations.
