Marine-Derived Fungi: Prospective Candidates for Bioremediation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mycoremediation and Environmental Sustainability

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

With increased industrialization and urbanization, there has been an increased level of pollutants in the environment. It is imperative to reduce concentration of toxic compounds in the effluent to meet ever-increasing legislative standards. While in most of the cases physicochemical treatments of wastes suffer from one or the other limitation, bioremediation is a promising alternative. Fungi, with their unique traits like their greater growth capacity, reach by virtue of mycelial branching, ability to produce a number of enzymes and metal accumulation potential, etc., are very well suited for bioremediation processes. Marine-derived fungi, being able to grow under extreme conditions (like high salinity and pH), are even better candidates for such purposes as their traits may especially be useful in the treatment of industrial effluent. The role of marine-derived fungi in general, and those screened along Gujarat coast, India, in particular, for removal of some pollutants, is discussed. Based on the findings, marine-derived fungi are envisioned as prospective bioremediation candidates.
