Potential of Marine Fungi as Bioremediation of Hazardous Pollutants
Main Article Content
Abstract
The potential of marine fungi in the bioremediation of dangerous pollutants such as heavy metals, textile industry waste, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Marine fungi, known to have a high adaptive capacity in extreme environmental conditions, offer an effective and environmentally friendly solution to address contamination in marine and coastal habitats. Through bioleaching and biosorption processes, marine fungi are able to adsorb and accumulate heavy metals, reducing toxicity and pollutant concentrations. Species such as Cerrena unicolor and Aspergillus niger show effectiveness in degrading synthetic dyes and PAHs, breaking down complex compounds into simpler and less toxic ones. This discussion provides insight into the use of marine fungi as potential bioremediation agents, supporting the development of environmental remediation methods that are sustainable and less invasive than traditional methods. This review contributes to further understanding to optimize the use of fungi in environmental bioremediation applications, while providing a significant contribution to the environmental science of sustainable marine resource management.
