The expanding population, rapid growth in urbanization, and industry exacerbate pollution-related issues. Pollution of the soil water has an impact on both human health environment. Thus, restoration cleanup contaminated areas represent important technological environmental challenge for sustainable development. Among various techniques used to remediate contaminants, Mycoremediation, use fungi or its derivatives, is by far most widely employed remove degrade metal metals, persistent organic pollutants, some emerging pollutants. This chapter summarizes key aspects mycoremediation as eco-friendly, economical, approach remediation terrestrial aquatic ecosystems. current discusses potential degrading contaminants such heavy agricultural pharmaceutical wastes, dyes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Likewise, we address major fungal species, their mechanisms, applications mycoremediation. Afterward, economic benefits, problems, future improving efficiency are addressed.

Applications of Yeasts in Heavy Metal Remediation

Fermentation, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(5), P. 236 - 236

Published: April 23, 2025

Yeasts have been extensively recognized as a type of model microorganism due to their facile cultivation, short growth cycle, and genetic stability. Different yeast strains, such Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, exhibited notable sorption capacities for heavy metals metalloids. Yeast employs diverse pathways detoxifying via its cell walls, intracellular organelles, extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). The wall has many functional groups adsorb metals, decreasing concentrations in the environment. In regions, some proteins are capable transporting into biological metabolic processes detoxification. electrostatic well complexation mechanisms between protein EPSs is accepted. Meanwhile, mannose glucose within target sugars with metals. Many yeasts can hence work excellent biomaterials bioremediation metal pollution. they be combined other materials enhance remediation efficiency. This study reviews underlying cases yeast-mediated detoxification, alongside highlighting yeasts’ industrial applications materials.
